β¦ Synopsis
Two thermophilic strains of Lactobacillus were transformed by electroporation: ~.fermentum with a maximum of frequency of ixl05/ug of plasmid vector pPSC2nDNA and 1.4xl03/ug pSA3DNA. L.helveticus showed a very low ~requency of transformation, from 9 to 26 transformants/ug DNA in all the experiments carried out with both the vectors. While L.fermentum transformants were very stable, in L.helveticus the acquired plasmid was lost after 30-50 generations.

The possibility of electric field-mediated transformation ("electroporation") of a gram-positive bacterium (Enterococcus faecalis) and two gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida) with plasmid DNA was investigated. E. faecalis protoplasts could be transformed by electroporati
A highly efficient method for transformation of Bacillus subtilis by plasmid DNA is reported. The procedure, which involves polyethylene glycol-induced DNA uptake by protoplasts and subsequent regeneration of the bacterial cell wall, yields up to 80% transformants with an efficiency of 4 x 10(7) tra
