2. Combine 200 µL of the donor, helper, and recipient strains into one centrifuge tube

3. Centrifuge and remove supernatant

4. Re-suspend pellet in 25 µL broth

5. Spot onto BHI plate (no antibiotics)

6. Incubate overnight at 30°C

7. Scrape a colony from plate and re-suspend in broth

8. Dilute each solution to 10^-1

9. Plate 100 uL of each solution onto a BHI plate with kanamycin and irgasan

10. Incubate overnight at 30°C
