[Acetobacter methanolicus--a new organism for genetic studies].
A new bacterial strain is described belonging to Acetobacter methanolicus species. It is of industrial value as a producer of protein and methanol products. The strain is acidophile and this feature comprises a conspicuous technological advantage. The results of bacteriophage and cell interactions are reported. They might be potentially useful for elaboration of the transduction technique for the strain. The collection of mutants was obtained including those utilizing methanol, having auxotrophic markers as well as streptomycin and rifampicin resistances. The transfer of plasmids RSF1010 and R68 to Acetobacter methanolicus from other bacteria has been demonstrated.
