Electron microscopic study of Bacillus subtilis protoplast fusion.
When protoplasts derived from sporulating cells of Bacillus subtilis were fused by exposure to polyethylene glycol (PEG) and fixed immediately thereafter, protoplasts with two enclosed prespores could be seen by electron microscope. The number of fusion events was greatly increased, and multiply fused protoplasts appeared, when the PEG-treated suspension was diluted in hypertonic broth and rein...
متن کاملNoncomplementing diploids from Bacillus subtilis protoplast fusion: relationship between maintenance of chromosomal inactivation and segregation capacity.
Fusions of Bacillus subtilis protoplasts from two genetically marked strains produce noncomplementing heterodiploid bacteria. These noncomplementing diploids (Ncds) carry both parental chromosomes, but only one is expressed. Fusion products of strains polymorphic for NotI restriction sites provide new physical evidence to support the conclusion that Ncds are not an artifact of cross feeding or ...
متن کاملTransformation of undomesticated strains of Bacillus subtilis by protoplast electroporation.
A rapid method combining the use of protoplasts and electroporation was developed to transform recalcitrant wild strains of Bacillus subtilis. The method described here allows transformation with both replicative and integrative plasmids, as well as with chromosomal DNA, and provides a valuable tool for molecular genetic analysis of interesting Bacillus strains, which are hard to transform by c...
متن کاملElectron Microscope Study of the Relationship between Mesosome Loss and the Stable L State (or Protoplast State) in Bacillus Subtilis.
Ryter, Antoinette (Institut Pasteur, Paris, France), and Otto E. Landman. An electron microscope study of the relationship between mesosome loss and the stable L-state (or protoplast state) in Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 88:457-467. 1964.-In a prior publication, it was postulated that inability of protoplasts to restart cell-wall synthesis and cell division and the inability of stable mass...
متن کاملEffects of Protoplast Fusion on δ-endotoxin Production in Bacillus thuringiensis Spp. (H14)
In this study, mutant forms of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis (H14) were produced. These mutants were identified when the cells were cultured on chloramphenicol plates and stained with crystal violet. Protoplasts of the mutants were isolated by enzymatic digestion (lysozyme) of the cell walls at the presence of an osmotic stabilizer. The protoplasts were induced to fuse to each other i...
