RESUMO
Glucosylated and nonglucosylated bacteriophage T4 deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) are able to bind to competent cells of Bacillus subtilis, although the former does so in a rather unstable fashion, probably because of the glucosylation. Several heterologous DNAs compete with homologous DNA for the same receptors in binding and in transformation. A different pattern in competition for DNA binding was observed for homologous and T4 glucosylated DNAs in intact cells as compared with protoplasts or membrane vesicles. The results are consistent with the existence of two types of receptor sites on the membrane of competent B. subtilis cells.
