Abstract: In order to develop a high efficiency genetic transformation system for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two different transformation methods were compared in this study, which were electroporation transformation and lithium acetate transformation. The results showed that two methods all had strict request to cell growth state. For lithium acetate transformation, under the conditions of D600 nm was 1.051, were treated for 60 min by LiAc, transformation efficiency was 136/μg DNA. While for electroporation transformation, 154/μg DNA were detected under the conditions of D600 nm was 1.359, voltage of 2.5 kV. All results demonstrated that LiAc transformation method would be beneficial to develop the genetic transformation system for Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
