Method "[Researchers] describe a protocol for the production of frozen competent yeast cells that can be transformed with high efficiency using the lithium acetate/single-stranded carrier DNA/PEG method."
Comments "This protocol will yield up to 1?10^6 transformants per µg of autonomously replicating plasmid DNA with a good transforming strain. Plasmids or DNA fragments requiring integration will be less efficient. The frozen competent yeast cells are stable for 6 months to a year with little loss in efficiency."
