Factors Affecting Transformation of Micrococcus lysodeikticus

Wesley E Kloos 1
PMCID: PMC315338  PMID: 5788710

Abstract

Relatively high transfo mation frequencies were obtained with Micrococcus lysodeikticus cells, previou[ill]sly grown in defined broth, with a tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane-glutamate b uffer containing Mg++, Ca++, Ba++, or Sr++.
