RECOGNITION OF STREPTOCOCCAL DNA BY A MUTANT PNEUMOCOCCUS UNABLE TO DISCRIMINATE AMONG MARKERS IN PNEUMOCOCCAL DNA

A mutant strain of pneumococcus which fails to discriminate against low-efficiency markers during transformation by homospecific pneumococcal donor DNA retains the wild-type capacity to discriminate against heterospecific (streptococcal) donor DNA. We conclude that discrimination against heterospeci...

Zusammenfassung:	A mutant strain of pneumococcus which fails to discriminate against low-efficiency markers during transformation by homospecific pneumococcal donor DNA retains the wild-type capacity to discriminate against heterospecific (streptococcal) donor DNA. We conclude that discrimination against heterospecific DNA must differ from that against low-efficiency markers by the kind or number of elements being recognized.
