Two HindIII generated DNA fragments of 3.0 and 2.3 Kb derived from rRNA genes of B. subtilis were cloned in E. coli with pBR322. The 3.0 Kb fragment could be subcloned in B. subtilis using pC194. However, only the multimeric, but not the monomeric derivatives of this hybrid plasmid were active in tr
A series of hybrid plasmids consisting of pC194 or pUBll2 and B. subtilis DNA were constructed. In contrast to plasmid pC 194, purified monomeric forms of such plasmids were active in transformation, provided the recipient cells were recombination proficient. Similarly the monomers of pC194 derived
Various alterations (deletions, additions, inversions) were introduced into portions of pC194/B. subtilis or pC194/phi 105 hybrid plasmid molecules which are homologous to the DNA of recipients in transformation. These plasmids are stably maintained in transformations of recombination deficient cell
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
Following UV irradiation of Bacillus subtilis there is a coordinate induction of: 1) a new protein, 2) a W-reactivation system, 3) a DNA modification system, and 4) prophages. These functions are induced following UV irradiation of repair proficient bacteria and mutants deficient in excision repair
