A procedure for the isolation of deoxyribonucleic acid from micro-organisms

TL;DR: A method has been described for the isolation of DNA from micro-organisms which yields stable, biologically active, highly polymerized preparations relatively free from protein and RNA, and Representative samples have been characterized for their thermal stability and sedimentation behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA Uptake in Bacteria

TL;DR: The mechanism of DNA uptake in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is reviewed, and the similarity of certain essential competence proteins to those required for the assembly of type-4 pili and for type-2 protein secretion is discussed.

The Determination of Enzyme Dissociation Constants

TL;DR: On the basis of the assumed theory the rate of the observed reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the enzyme-substrate compound, where (E:l = (ES).

The assimilation of amino-acids by bacteria. XV. Actions of antibiotics on nucleic acid and protein synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: Experimental conditions have been described which will enable the following processes to be studied in washed suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus: internal accumulation of free glutamic acid, extracellular accumulation of peptides containing glutamic Acid, accumulation of combined glutamicacid within the cells, and synthesis of protein and nucleic acid.

Biochemical studies of environmental factors essential in transformation of pneumococcal types

TL;DR: This paper presented by McCarty and Harriet Taylor at the June 1946 Cold Spring Harbor Symposium was part of his effort to bring his work on transformation to "some kind of reasonable conclusion" prior to his leaving the lab that July.

Recherches sur la cinétique des transformations bactériennes

TL;DR: La protection de l'ADN transformant, absorbe par une bacterie, vis a vis de the DNase exogene, survient lorque cette bacterie a perdu la competemce (donc the permeabilite aux grosses molecules) and probablement avant l'integration de l'sADNtransformant dans le genome bacterien.
