Crude lysates of Staphylococcus aureus can transform Bacillus subtilis

J S Feitelson et al. J Gen Microbiol. 1980 Feb.

Abstract

Plasmids can be transferred from Staphylococcus aureus to Bacillus subtilis by crude lysates prepared with penicillin or lysostaphin. These lysates mediate drug-resistance plasmid transformation in competent B. subtilis at an efficiency paralleling that of purified DNA.
