How can you use “transformant” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
One transformant was chosen as the M. smegmatis sigE mutant strain and designated LR222Δ sigE (Table 1).
The simplest explanation is that integrase was provided in trans by a second cosmid transiently present in the original transformant, and indeed, M. smegmatis bacteria carrying an integrated copy of the 4-kb plasmid can be readily isolated following electroporation of a mixture of the 4-kb plasmid and a plasmid that expresses integrase (unpublished results).
Researchers there introduced additional chitinase genes using bolistics, in sense or antisense orientation under the control of a strong promoter (35S) into chitinase transformant lines of tobacco that never exhibited spontaneous gene silencing (Crete et al.
The observation that the sur2 clone contains an integrated plasmid corresponding to the plasmid isolated from the cosmid library suggests that either a) the hybrid protein retains integrase activity, b) the plasmid inserted into the attachment site by homologous recombination between attP and attB, or c) a functional integrase was provided in trans by a second cosmid transiently present in the original transformant or by a gene present in the M. smegmatis LR222 genome.
Each transformant was assayed for the occurrence of correct integration and its ability to survive on 5-FOA.
