Extracellular DNA release by undomesticated Bacillus subtilis is regulated by early competence.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Zafra Olga, Lamprecht-Grandío María, de Figueras Carolina González, González-Pastor José Eduardo

Abstract excerpt

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) release is a widespread capacity described in many microorganisms. We identified and characterized lysis-independent eDNA production in an undomesticated strain of Bacillus subtilis. DNA fragments are released during a short time in late-exponential phase. The released eDNA corresponds to whole genome DNA, and does not harbour mutations suggesting that is not the result of error prone DNA...
