YEB medium recipe????

[John R. McQuiston]

It may be the YENB media, that is a salt free media for electroporation.  I use 
it with Brucella, Salmonella and E.coli and it works great.  Since Brucella and 
A. tumefaciens are very close genetically it'll probably work.  It's in a 
Biotechniques article for Salt free electrocompetent cells.
It's .75% Yeast Extract, .8% Nutrient Broth per liter I think.  

You grow them to specific density, spin to pellet, wash once with sterile cold 
water, spin again and electroporate.  If you get on Biotechniques web site you 
can find it.
