Effect of hydration of CD on transformation efficiency. Bar diagram comparison of the number of colonies obtained from different size of plasmids for anhydrous and monohydrate CDs, indicating better performance of monohydrate CA in DNA delivery. Values are mean (from three replicates) ± standard deviation.
