Abstract

Genetic transformation and transfection of lysozyme-treated Bacillus subtilis spheroplasts 168M ind occurs only if they are stabilized with 0.5 m phosphate buffer and not if they are stabilized with 0.5 m sucrose. Spheroplasts prepared from maximally competent cells give maximum transformation and transfection results. The results indicate that the DNA receptors must also be intact in the spheroplasts.
