Chlamydomonas transformation demonstration. This video demonstrates how to perform nuclear transformation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells by electroporation and corresponds to Steps B9-B13 of the protocol. 250 µl cells are added to each sterile cuvette. 5 µl digested DNA is added to the cuvette and mixed. The mixture of cells and DNA are briefly incubated in a 16 °C water bath prior to electroporation. After electroporation, transformed cells are transferred from the cuvette to a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 10 ml TAP 40 mM sucrose.
