| Abstract: | Summary The effect of caffeine on the recombination process was studied by using transformation and transfection of Bacillus subtilis as genetic systems. Data were obtained showing that caffeine reduces strongly both transformation and transfection. The inhibitory effect seems ascribable to an interference of caffeine with the process of recombination. |
