Abstract
The DNA uptake and transformation of inositol-requiring recipient Neurospora strains were investigated. Exponentially growing cultures can accumulate 5-10 fold quantities of donor DNA than older ones. The rate of DNA uptake depends on the physiological state of the recipient cell, and on the molecular weight of donor DNA. The exocellular DNase activity of the recipient culture may influence the DNA uptake and the transformation process. "Young" inositol-requiring Neurospora crassa cultures can be transformed by wild type DNA reproducibly, but with low efficiency.Entities:
