Abstract excerpt
Competent Bacillus subtilis incorporates whole-genome DNA (4215 kb) from the protoplast lysate of B. subtilis subtilis [Akamatsu, T. and Taguchi, H., Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 65, 823-829 (2001)]. A continuous incorporated DNA is longer than 1500 kb [J. Biosci. Bioeng., 101, 257-262 (2006)]. Whether the incorporated DNA is single-stranded (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) has been studied by examining...
