Bacteriophage transformation of PBS2 in Bacillus subtilis.

RESUMO
Transformation of temperature-sensitive mutants of bacteriophage PBS2 for Bacillus subtilis was demonstrated. The number of transformants was linearly related to the concentration of DNA within a range of 0.01 to 1 mug/ml. No transformants were obtained when the DNA was pretreated with DNase. PBS2 DNA sheared to approximately 1% of the total chromosome length was centrifuged in Cs2SO4-Hg gradients to fractionate the DNA according to the base composition. Transformation experiments carried out with the fractionated DNA indicated the possibility of determining the base composition of different regions of the phage chromosome.
