Natural genetic transformation in Streptococcus gordonii: comX imparts spontaneous competence on strain wicky.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1996

Lunsford R D, London J

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus gordonii Wicky becomes competent only after stimulation with conditioned medium from strain Challis as a source of competence factor (CF). A 3.2-kbp genomic fragment from Challis was found to impart spontaneous competence on Wicky by a complementation assay. Wicky clones containing the fragment secreted a heat-sensitive activity that induced competence in Wicky and in a comA insertion mutant of...
