ig® Methionine Auxotrophic LBA4404ᴹᵉᵗ Agrobacterium Chemically Competent Cells, Intact Genomics

Enables development of more efficient plant transformation systems.

Optimized for the highest transformation efficiencies
Requires supplemental methionine for growth
Useful for transgenic operations of plants
Octopine-type Ti plasmid pAL4404

Intact Genomics (ig^®) Methionine-Auxotrophic LBA4404^MetAgrobacterium chemically competent cells include modifications so that they will not grow unless free methionine is added to minimal medium.

This prevents the bacteria from overgrowing plant tissues when used for plant transformation.

Methionine- Auxotrophic LBA4404^MetAgrobacterium chemically competent cells are optimized for the highest transformation efficiencies.

The LBA4404^Met strain is useful for transgenic operations of tomatoes, tobacco and other plants.

LBA4404^Metcontains a rifampicin resistance gene (rif). LBA4404^Metstrain also contains an octopine-type Ti plasmid pAL4404^Met without self-transport function, which contains the vir gene.

Manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 certified quality management system.
