title: [In vivo restriction of Escherichia coli-transforming DNA by endonuclease R.M.EcoRI].
abstract: Transformation of Escherichia coli K-12 for various chromosomal markers was accomplished by using AB1157 recBC+ strain as a recipient. The yield of transformants was reduced 10-fold, as compared with that obtained in JC7623 recBC sbcB recipient. Elimination of transformation has been obtained for arg, pro, his markers in AB1157 (pSA14) harbouring the R.M.EcoRI coding plasmid. Production of restriction endonuclease in this strain did not affect the efficiency of transformation for thr, leu markers. The presence of pSA25 which is isogenic to pSA14 but devoid of R.M.EcoRI genes has been irrelevant to transformation for leu, arg, pro, his, thr markers. Correlation between the restriction of transformed markers in vivo and in vitro is discussed.
