The 10-kb chromosomal fragment of Streptococcus pneumoniae cloned in pLS80 contains the sul-d allele of the pneumococcal gene for dihydropteroate synthase. As a single copy in the chromosome this allele confers resistance to sulfanilamide at 0.2 mg/ml; in the multicopy plasmid it confers resistance
Transformation of competent cells of Bacillus subtilis with antibiotic resistance plasmid DNA has shown that (a) competence for plasmid and chromosomal DNA develops with similar kinetics; (b) DNA linearized with a variety of restriction endonucleases does not transform; (c) CCC plasmid DNA is inacti
(1) The low residual transforming activity in preparations of monomeric, supercoiled, circular (CCC) forms of the plasmids pC194 and pHV14 could be attributed to the presence in such isolates of a small number of contaminating multimeric molecules. (2) E. coli derived preparations of pHV14, as in vi
