Transforming deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) preparations from Haemophilus influenzae Rd strains carrying a chromosomally integrated, conjugative, antibiotic resistance transfer (R) plasmid were exposed to ultraviolet radiation and then assayed for antibiotic resistance transfer on sensitive wild-type Rd competent suspensions and on similar suspensions of a uvr-1 mutant unable to excise pyrimidine dimers. No host cell reactivation of resistance transfer (DNA repair) was observed. Parallel experiments with ethanol-precipitated, heated, free R plasmid DNA preparations gave much higher survival when assayed on the wild-type strain compared to the survival on the uvr-1 strain. These observations indicate that additive genetic transformation (in this case, the addition of the integrated R plasmid to the recipient genome) involves single-strand insertion.
将携带染色体整合的、可接合的抗生素抗性转移(R)质粒的流感嗜血杆菌Rd菌株的脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)制剂暴露于紫外线辐射,然后在敏感的野生型Rd感受态悬浮液和不能切除嘧啶二聚体的uvr - 1突变体的类似悬浮液上检测抗生素抗性转移。未观察到抗性转移的宿主细胞再活化(DNA修复)。与在uvr - 1菌株上的存活率相比,用乙醇沉淀、加热的游离R质粒DNA制剂进行的平行实验在野生型菌株上检测时存活率要高得多。这些观察结果表明,附加遗传转化(在这种情况下,将整合的R质粒添加到受体基因组中)涉及单链插入。
