Transformation of Chromosomal and Plasmid Characters in Staphylococcus aureus

Martin Lindberg 1, Jan-Eric Sjöström 1, Thomas Johansson 1
PMCID: PMC285214  PMID: 5058455

Abstract

Plasmid and probably also chromosomal characters have been genetically transformed in Staphylococcus aureus. Recipient cells show competence throughout the exponential growth phase with a maximum at early times.
