Consider a transformation experiment

Reference no: EM13534599

If we consider a transformation experiment with the following points:
a.) 15 nanograms of DNA was used in the transformation
b.) The final volume at recovery was 110 microliters
c.) The plating volume was 100 microliters
d.) The experiment produced 200 transformants from the 100microliter plating volume
What is the transformation efficiency (number oftransformants per micrograms of DNA) for this experiment?
