Highlights • The transfer method was optimized in ultrasound-mediated. • E. coli DH5α as the receptor, pUC19 as exogenous DNA. • The E. coli DH5α membrane permeability changed allowing exogenous DNA to entered the cytoplasm.
As a basic technique of molecular cloning, bio-transformation has been successfully used in the fields of biomedicine and food processing. In this study, we established a transformation system of exogenous DNA into E. coli cells mediated by ultrasound. Under the optimal conditions (i.e. 35 °C, 40 W, 25 s, OD600 = 0.4–0.6) optimized by RSM, the transformation efficiency reached at 1.006 × 107 CFU/μg DNA. The results of membrane permeability, macromolecular substance and cell structure analysis before and after ultrasound treatment showed that the damage of host cells induced by lower (40 W) ultrasound and shorter ultrasound time (25 s) was reversible, and the transformation efficiency and cell survival rate were not significantly affected under this condition. In brief, proper changes in cell membrane and cell wall were the basic conditions for host cells to uptake exogenous DNA, while, whether exogenous DNA could be replicated and expressed in cells depends on the viability of host cells.
