Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is naturally competent for DNA transformation. In contrast to other natural prokaryotic DNA transformation systems, single-stranded donor DNA (ssDNA) has not previously been detected during transformation of N. gonorrhoeae. We have reassessed the physical nature of gonococca...
