Project 3 is concerned with developing a system which is naturally competent. This is to be done by introducing com genes taken from naturally competent strains of Acinetobacter and Streptococcus into a suitable vector imparting natural competence and readiness of the bacterium to acquire genes. Induction of competence will thus enable the bacteria to take up naked DNA from its surroundings which will greatly facilitate transformation experiments.
This has several applications.
