Abstract excerpt

For the first time the possibility of the genetic transformation of L. pneumophila and L. bozemanii strains with the use of purified DNA of plasmids pUC19, pUC4K, pSC101 and RSF1010-pBR322 was shown. The frequency of transformation varied from 5.2 x 10(-6) to 5.8 x 10(-7), depending on the strain...
