Marker Discrimination in Transformation and Mutation of Pneumococcus

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Earlier investigations of pneumococcal transformation revealed a function (hex+) responsible for severely reducing the transformation yield of certain markers. A mutational alteration (hex-) responsible for the loss of this function has been transferred into a hex+ strain to permit a comparison of the hex+ and hex- phenotypes in an isogenic background.
