Abstract
Genetic transformation of specific cells is a key research tool in modern basic biological studies, as well as in biotechnology and gene therapy. Here we propose a principally new method enabling easy and effective delivery of plasmid DNA into the industrially important yeast species, Hansenula polymorpha, Pichia pastoris (this chapter), and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (data not presented). The transformation method is using a novel gene delivery system based on a comb-like oligoelectrolyte polymer consisting of the anionic backbone and dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEM)-based side branches.
