Abstract
A protoplast transfection system has been developed for a lysine-producing bacterium, Corynebacterium lilium, using the DNA of phage CL31. Phage CL31 is lytic and specific to C. lilium and has a genome of approximately 48 kb. The transfection procedure involves a polyethylene-glycol-mediated introduction of the DNA into lysozyme-treated cells and has a maximum efficiency of 3 .times. 104 transfectants per .mu.g DNA.
