I've been trying to transform my plasmid conferring spectinomycin resistance into EHA105 (via freeze-thaw method). Unfortunately, I've been observing bacterial growth on the entire plate and not getting single colonies. I have tried to increase the concentration of spectinomycin, reduced the recovery time, and diluted the recovered cells before plating - same results. I am now planning to reduce the initial volume of the competent cells that I will transform (from 150 uL to around 35 uL).
