20 μL of prepared cells, 1–3 μg of drug resistant cassette DNA, CRISPR mix, and RNAse free water to a final volume of 45 μL was mixed and transferred to a BioRad Gene Pulser cuvette (0.2 cm gap). Cells were pulsed using an Eppendorf Eporator at 1500 V and immediately resuspended in 1 mL of ice-cold Sorbitol. Cells were then collected by centrifugation, resuspended in 1 mL of YPD media, and allowed to recover by incubation at 30°C at 250 rpm for 3–24 hours. Cells were then collected, resuspended in 100 μL of YPD, and plated onto drug selective media at the desired concentration. Nourseothricin (GoldBio) was used at a final concentration of 300 μg/mL for antibiotic selection of the NatMX cassette. Hygromycin B (Cayman) was used at a final concentration of 500 μg/mL antibiotic selection of the HphMX cassette. Geneticin (G418, GoldBio) was used at a final concentration of 800 μg/mL for antibiotic selection of the KanMX cassette. Zeocin (Cayman) was used at a final concentration of 600 μg/mL for antibiotic selection of the BleMX cassette in C. glabrata and 800 μg/mL in C. auris. Colonies were streaked onto fresh plates with the desired drug, and single colonies were selected and restreaked onto fresh YPD plates. Colonies were screened via colony PCR using primers indicated in Table S2. Three independent clones were verified by PCR and analyzed for phenotypic characterizations.

Twenty microliters of prepared cells, 1–3 µg of drug resistance cassette DNA, CRISPR mix, and RNAse-free water to a final volume of 45 µL was mixed and transferred to a Bio-Rad Gene Pulser cuvette (0.2-cm gap). Cells were pulsed using an Eppendorf Eporator at 1,500 V and immediately resuspended in 1 mL of ice-cold sorbitol. Cells were collected by centrifugation, resuspended in 1 mL of YPD media, and allowed to recover by incubation at 30°C at 250 rpm for 3–24 hours. Recovered cells were resuspended in 100 µL of YPD and plated onto drug-selective media. Nourseothricin (GoldBio) was used at a final concentration of 300 µg/mL for antibiotic selection of the NatMX cassette. Hygromycin B (Cayman) was used at a final concentration of 500 µg/mL. Geneticin (G418, GoldBio) was used at a final concentration of 800 µg/mL. Zeocin (Cayman) was used at a final concentration of 600 µg/mL for C. glabrata and 800 µg/mL for C. auris. For double selection for C. albicans using SAT1 and BleMX or KanMX, plates contained 200 µg/mL Nourseothricin and 800 µg/mL Zeocin or 800 µg/mL G418 sulfate. Colonies were screened via PCR using primers indicated in Table S2. Three independent clones were used for phenotypic characterizations.

About PubCompare

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.
