Abstract
During the electroporation of T. reesei, linearized exogenous DNA is absorbed into swollen conidia by an electrical impulse. The advantage of this method is that it is less time-consuming, less expensive, and easier to perform than the classical protoplast transformation while at the same time having a comparable efficiency.
