Transfection of Escherichia coli by Mu DNA

Kahmann, R., Kamp, D., Zipser, D. (1976) Transfection of Escherichia coli by Mu DNA. Mol Gen Genet, 149 (3). pp. 323-8.

Abstract

Infectivity of Mu DNA was demonstrated in Ca+ +-treated Escherichia coli cells that lacked the nucleases Exo V and Endo I. The efficiency of transfection is about 10(-7) per phage equivalent. Infectivity is destroyed by denaturation of Mu DNA, and cannot be restored by renaturation.
