After treatment with 1 unit of lysostaphin per ml for 3 min, two strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 233 and PS 44A HJD, were transfected with phenol-extracted deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from the staphylococcal bacteriophages, 53 and 44A HJD, respectively. The number of transfected cells was low in both systems, approximately two in 10(7) enzyme-treated cells. There was a saturation effect at high concentrations of DNA; optimal results were obtained at concentrations between 10 to 25 mug/ml. Growth curves and fluctuation tests indicated that cells of strain 44A HJD infected with phage, then converted to protoplasts by a 10-min treatment with lysostaphin, produce only one phage particle and lose their ability to lyse spontaneously in hypertonic media.
用每毫升1单位的溶葡萄球菌酶处理3分钟后,分别用来自葡萄球菌噬菌体53和44A HJD的酚提取脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)转染两株金黄色葡萄球菌,菌株233和PS 44A HJD。在这两个系统中转染细胞的数量都很低,在10⁷个酶处理细胞中约有两个。在高浓度DNA时存在饱和效应;在10至25微克/毫升的浓度下可获得最佳结果。生长曲线和波动试验表明,用噬菌体感染然后用溶葡萄球菌酶处理10分钟转化为原生质体的44A HJD菌株细胞仅产生一个噬菌体颗粒,并失去在高渗培养基中自发裂解的能力。
