By employing the plate transformation method, the study on Bacillus subtilis cell-to-cell natural genetic transformation was carried out The results showed that the bacteria cultured in the both LB and MM media could actively excrete transforming DNA at exponential growth stage. The cell to cell contact could facilitate the transformation. It was found that the B. subtilis strain, cultured not only in MM medium, but also in LB medium, could be transformed by cell released or chemically extracted DNA by the method of agar plate transformation, although the LB medium was previously believed not to support this process in traditional transformation protocol. Both of the transformation frequency of B. subtilis MM and LB culture peaks appeared at post exponential growth stage and reached at 3×10 -3 and 1.9×10 -6, respectively. 枯草芽孢杆菌 细胞间自然遗传转化 感受态 DNA释放 Bacillus subtilis cell-to-cell natural genetic transformation competence DNA release Q933 国家自然科学基金资助项目 （ 3 0 0 70 0 10 ） 2003-04-01 2021-04-01 4
