DNA synthesis in competent Bacillus subtilis cells

DNA synthesis in competent Bacillus subtilis cells

K S Loveday. J Bacteriol. 1978 Sep.

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.
