Bacteriophage phi 29 can infect B. subtilis minicells and synthesize all the phage-coded proteins detected in ultraviolet irradiated-infected B. subtilis cells. Synthesis of phage unit-length DNA has been obtained after infection of minicells with phi 29. The DNA can be encapsulated in particles wit

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
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
Uptake of transforming DNA by competent Bacillus subtilis cells in the presence of phage phi W-14 DNA (in which half the thymine residues are replaced by alpha-putrescinyl-thymine) is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of trichloracetic acid-precipitable label of the former retained by recipien
