Dependence of linkage of alleles on their physical distance in natural transformation of Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1.

Abstract excerpt

The interdependence of genetic linkage in transformation and physical distance was studied in the bacterium Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1. Transformation experiments were performed using 17 strains containing different mutations within the 21-kb pca-qui-pob gene cluster as recipients for the DNA of one of two strains carrying a mutation causing a temperature-sensitive phenotype. The different phenotypes of the...
