Heat sensitivity of Azotobacter vinelandii genetic transformation.
Heating competent Azotobacter vinelandii at 37 or 42 degrees C resulted in a total loss of competence with no loss of viability. The transformation process was relatively insensitive to heating at either temperature once DNase-resistant DNA binding was nearly complete. Although competent and 42 degrees C-treated cells bound equivalent amounts of [32P]DNA in a DNase-resistant state, no donor DNA...
متن کاملTransformation of Azotobacter vinelandii with plasmid DNA.
Azotobacter vinelandii cells can be transformed at high frequencies with the broad-host-range plasmids pRK2501, RSF1010, and pGSS15, using a modification of the procedure developed by Page and von Tigerstrom (J. Bacteriol. 139:1058-1061, 1979) for chromosomal DNA-mediated transformation. The frequency of transformation per microgram of plasmid DNA per viable cell with pRK2501 and pGSS15 was abo...
متن کاملOptimal conditions for transformation of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Optimal transformation of Azotobacter vinelandii OP required a 20-min incubation of the competent cells with deoxyribonucleic acid at 30 degrees C in buffer (pH 6.0 to 8.0) containing 8 mM magnesium sulfate. Nitrogen-fixing transformants of nitrogen fixation-deficient recipients could be plated immediately on selective medium, but transformants acquiring rifampin and streptomycin resistance req...
متن کاملPlasmids of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Four laboratory strains and two isolates of Azotobacter vinelandii were found to contain plasmids. Twenty-five laboratory strains which could fix nitrogen did not have free, covalently closed circular plasmid DNA. The plasmids varied in size from 9 to 52 megadaltons, and each strain yielded only one plasmid. No discernible differences in ability to fix nitrogen were found between plasmid-bearin...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Vegetative cells and cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii 12837 were prepared for electron microscopy by several methods assumed to preserve structural details destroyed by techniques previously reported in the literature. Examination of large numbers of cells and cysts by these methods revealed four structural details not reported previously: intine fibrils, intine vesicles, intine membrane, and mi...
