Use of a cloned DNA fragment to analyze the fate of donor DNA in transformation of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

V Méjean, J P Claverys
PMCID: PMC215570  PMID: 6327632

Abstract

The integration of donor label into the recipient fragment is followed during transformation of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The method used involves gel analysis of restriction endonuclease-treated recipient DNA after recombination with a radioactively labeled homologous cloned fragment.
