Biolistic transformation of a procaryote, Bacillus megaterium.

We present a simple and rapid method for introducing exogenous DNA into a bacterium, Bacillus megaterium, utilizing the recently developed biolistic process. A suspension of B. megaterium was spread onto the surface of nonselective medium. Plasmid pUB110 DNA, which contains a gene that confers kanamycin resistance, was precipitated onto tungsten particles. Using a biolistic propulsion system, t...

Transformation of Bacillus polymyxa with plasmid DNA.

A plasmid transformation system was developed for Bacillus polymyxa ATCC 12321 and derivatives of this strain. The method utilizes a penicillin-treated-cell technique to facilitate uptake of the plasmid DNA. Low-frequency transformation (10(-6) per recipient cell) of plasmids pC194, pBD64, and pBC16 was accomplished with this method. Selection for the transformants was accomplished on both hype...

Plasmolysis in Bacillus Megaterium.

Weibull, Claes (Central Bacteriological Laboratory of Stockholm City, Stockholm, Sweden). Plasmolysis in Bacillus megaterium. J. Bacteriol. 89:1151-1154. 1965.-Sucrose solutions stronger than 1 m caused plasmolysis in Bacillus megaterium strain M, whereas concentrated NaCl and KNO(3) solutions were ineffective. In plasmolyzed cells, mesosome bodies were found in pockets between the cytoplasmic ...

Enzyme localization in Bacillus megaterium.

Weibull (1953a) has shown that after osmotic lysis of protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium, prepared by controlled treatment with lysozyme, only two microscopically detectable structures remain; membrane-like bodies termed "ghosts," and granules. The ghosts were found to sediment as a dark yellow fraction by centrifugation at 10,000 G (Weibull, 1953b) and to contain almost all the pigmented mater...

Plasmid-mediated transformation tropism of chlamydial biovars.

Chlamydia trachomatis and C. muridarum are human and mouse pathogens, respectively, which show high conservation of gene order and content. Both species contain a common 7.5-kb plasmid that is an important virulence factor. Recently described transformation systems have been used to characterize C. trachomatis L2 plasmid gene functions; however, similar studies have not been reported for C. tra...
