Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

SUMMARY Sarcina flavaATCC 540 (ade) andMicrococcus flavocyaneusATCC 8673 (ade), two related micrococci, were transformed to prototrophy at frequencies as high as 0·02% and 0·005% of colony-forming units, respectively. Both of these organisms were transformed by selected prototrophic strains ofMicrococcus lysodeikticus, M. flavocyaneus, S. flavaandSarcina lutea.
