Abstract
The distribution of uninucleate and multinucleate cells of Bacillus subtilis , fractionated by zonal centrifugation, shows that the uninucleate cells are most likely to be competent. Only the competent fraction of the population incorporates deoxyribonucleic acid.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
