Intact Genomics (ig®) Ar.Qual Chemically Competent Agrobacterium cells are made from a specific strain of Rhizobium rhizogenes (formerly Agrobacterium rhizogenes), Agrobacterium rhizogenes (str R,Cam R) Ar Qual Ri (agropine type). Agrobacterium rhizogenes is a soil-borne gram-negative bacterium that can infect most dicotyledons, a few monocotyledons and some gymnosperms. Ar.Qual Chemically Competent Agrobacterium are optimized for the highest transformation efficiencies and are useful for transgenic operations of corn, tobacco, tomato, citrus and other plants. Ar.Qual Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain contains agrobacterium-type Ri plasmid and displays streptomycin and chloramphenicol resistance.
