Ftouhi N, Guillén N
Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis protoplast fusion allows the study of the genetic recombination of an entire procaryotic genome. Protoplasts from bacterial strains marked genetically by chromosomal mutations were fused using polyethylene glycol and the regenerated cells analyzed. Recombinants represent 19.3% of heterozygotic cells; they are haploids. Individual characterization of clones show a unique particular phenotype in...
