Donor DNA processing is blocked by a mutation in the com101A locus of Haemophilus influenzae.
Evidence is presented indicating that a donor DNA processing step of the Haemophilus influenzae transformation pathway is blocked in the Com-101 mutant. Additional data are presented suggesting that, as in the Rec-2 strain, the donor DNA remains associated with the H. influenzae envelope.
