Abstract:
:Suitable conditions for the introduction of bacteriophage DNA into cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous CF222 by electroporation were established, and penicillin G was found to enhance the transfection frequency. When conditions optimal for the parental strain were applied to its colony-morphological mutants, different transfection frequencies were observed. Penicillin G enhanced the transfection frequency of smooth and mucoidal mutants but not of rough mutants.
