Abstract excerpt
The methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 has so far proven to be genetically intractable due to its low plating efficiency on solid medium and the lack of an effective transformation method. Here, we report the first significant improvement in plating efficiency (up to 10%), which was achieved by (1) selecting for a spontaneous mutant of M. mazei that shows significantly higher resistance to...
