DNA lacking CtsM methylation is a poor substrate for transformation. DNA was purified from either DRH153 or the ctsM::kan mutant. This DNA was then used to transform WT cells. Transformation efficiency was calculated as described in Materials and Methods. Results are the compilation of three biological replicates, each of which included three technical replicates. Error bars indicate SD. Significance was determined using the Mann–Whitney U test.
