Escherichia coli XL10-Gold is a competent bacterial strain commonly used in molecular biology applications. It is designed for high-efficiency transformation of plasmid DNA.
Escherichia coli XL10-Gold from Invitrogen (USA), was cultured in Lysogeny broth (LB, 10 g/L NaCl, 10 g/L tryptone, 5 g/L yeast extract). Medium was prepared according to the description in the Manual of Molecular Cloning [67 ]. Wild type Z. mobilis ZM4 was revived from frozen glycerol stocks in rich media with 5% glucose (RMG5: 50 g/L glucose, 10 g/L yeast extract, and 2 g/L KH2PO4) at 30 °C for 6–8 h without shaking. Shuttle vector pEZ15Asp includes origins of replication from both E. coli and Z. mobilis [44 (link)]. Strains and plasmids used in this study are listed in Table 3.

P. pastoris GS115, Escherichia coli XL10-gold and the vector pMD18-T were purchased from Invitrogen (USA). The expression vector pHBM905A is stored in our laboratory [33 (link)]. Minimal dextrose (MD), buffered minimal glycerol (BMGY) and buffered minimal methanol (BMMY) medium were prepared as described in the instructions of the P. pastoris expression manual from Invitrogen (USA).

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
