Regulation of hypercompetence in Legionella pneumophila.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 2004

Sexton Jessica A, Vogel Joseph P

Abstract excerpt

Although many bacteria are known to be naturally competent for DNA uptake, this ability varies dramatically between species and even within a single species, some isolates display high levels of competence while others seem to be completely nontransformable. Surprisingly, many nontransformable bacterial strains appear to encode components necessary for DNA uptake. We believe that many such strains are actually...
