Transformation and transfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: effects of metal ions.

Abstract:

:The ability of different metal ions to promote transformation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by deoxyribonucleic acid of the plasmid RP1 was examined. CaCl2, MgCl2, and MnCl2 were found to promote such transformation, although at different frequencies and with the optimum response at different concentrations. Only MgCl2 promoted transfection of P. aeruginosa by the linear deoxyribonucleic acid of phage F116. CaCl2 was demonstrated to allow adsorption and entry into the cell of F116 deoxyribonucleic acid such that it became resistant to exogenous deoxyribonuclease, but phage production occurred only when MgCl2 was provided. Inactivation of linear phage deoxyribonucleic acid taken up in the absence of MgCl2 was observed. The transfection frequencies at various concentrations of MgCl2 were compared, and the optimum response occurred at the concentration which promoted the highest frequency of transformation by RP1 deoxyribonucleic acid.
