The involvement of microbial interactions in natural transformation of bacteria was evaluated using an aquatic model system. For this purpose, the naturally transformable Bacillus subtilis was used as the model bacterium which was co-cultivated with the protist Tetrahymena thermophila (a consumer) a

When plasmids carrying leucine genes of Bacillus subtilis 168 were isolated from a restriction and modification deficient (r-m-) strain and used for transformation of a restricting strain B. subtilis 168 leu recE4, the number of transformants was greatly reduced. Transformation of rec+ strain (trans
Polyethylene glycol-treated protoplasts of B. subtilis can be transformed by plasmid DNA at very high frequencies (Chang and Cohen 1979). From analysis of plasmid mediated transformation of transformation-deficient mutants it appeared that mutants, reduced in the transformation by plasmid DNA in the
DNA of Bacillus subtilis proficient in excision repair (hcr+) was introduced into Angiografinpurified competent cells of an excision repair-deficient strains UVS-1 (hcr-1). The hcr+ gene was found to affect the UV-survival curve of the cells, giving rise to a UV-resistant component. However, a consi
