Abstract excerpt
The lack of an efficient transformation system in Vibrio cholerae was a handicap in the genetic manipulation of this important human pathogen. Since V. cholerae cells secrete DNases, this may interfere with the uptake of DNA. The present report describes the approaches taken for transforming V. cholerae cells with plasmid DNA, by overcoming this DNase barrier. The partial success of transforming DNase-negative...
