Title: DNA synthesis in competent Bacillus subtilis cells. Author: Loveday KS. Journal: J Bacteriol; 1978 Sep; 135(3):1158-61. PubMed ID: 99432. Abstract: Competent cells of Bacillus subtilis incorporate degradation products from transfecting DNA into their chromosomal DNA. The sensitivity of this incorporation to inhibitors of bacterial DNA synthesis [phage infection or 6-(p-hydroxyphenylazo)-uracil] suggests that semiconservative DNA synthesis can occur in competent cells.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
