A Bsu168-specific restriction deficient (r168-) mutant of Bacillus subtilis Marburg 168 was transformed to be BsuR-specific restriction proficient (rR+) with B. subtilis R DNA as efficiently as the Bsu 168-specific restriction proficient (r168+) parental strain (hsrM+, hsdR-). We constructed rR+ mR+

Gene hsrM (nonB) of Bacillus subtilis 168, causing non-permissiveness to phage SP10 (Saito et al. 1979) and reduced plating efficiency of unmodified phage ~)105, is responsible for non-permissiveness of B. subtilis 168 for phages #15 and PZA. Upon transformation to sporulation deficiency (allele spo
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens N produces two restriction enzymes, BamNI and BamNx. Subtilis-phage phi 1 is strongly restricted by BamNx. We isolated phi 1 rH, a mutant of phage phi 1, which overcame the BamNx-restriction by producing inhibitor. This inhibitor inactivated BamNx specifically and reversib
The effects of restriction in vivo by competent B. subtilis R cells and in vitro by purified endonuclease BsuR on transformation and transfection with native and denatured DNA were investigated. The results show that transformation by either native, or denatured DNA is not affected by restriction, w
