Non-transformable mutants of Bacillus subtilis defective in the penetration of DNA into the cell

Four non-transformable mutants of Bacillus subtilis 168 defective in the penetration of DNA into the recipient cell were isolated. All mutants were fully non-transformable with mutation in genes influencing irreversible binding of the donor DNA by the recipient cell.
