|
| Authors: | P Yeh J Oreglia A M Sicard |
| Abstract: | A protoplast transfection system has been developed for a lysine-producing bacterium, Corynebacterium lilium, using the DNA of phage CL31. Phage CL31 is lytic and specific to C. lilium and has a genome of approximately 48 kb. The transfection procedure involves a polyethylene-glycol-mediated introduction of the DNA into lysozyme-treated cells and has a maximum efficiency of 3 X 10(4) transfectants per microgram DNA. |
