Abstract

The bacterium Pseudomonas phaseolicola was successfully transformed, for the first time, with R-factors RSF1010 and pBR322 DNA by a calcium-shock and heat-pulse technique. Frequency of transformation for RSF1010 ranged from 0.8 x 10(-7) to 3.1 x 10(-6) and was ca. 0.4 x 10(-8) for pBR322.
