✦ Synopsis

Hybrid plasmids were constructed in which the transcription of regions of inserted DNA was defined. Cells containing these plasmids were transformed with monomeric forms of a different hybrid plasmid, which contained, however, the same inserted DNA as the resident plasmid. The transformation frequencies observed indicated that transcription of homologous DNA in resident plasmids and also tertiary DNA structure interfered with transformation.

Although heterospecific transformation is extremely inefficient and very little heterologous donor DNA integrates into the recipient chromosome in a stable way, we have previously shown that B. pumilus DNA entering competent B. subtilis efficiently associates with the recipient chromosome in an unst
