Effect of EDTA and competitive DNA on mycoplasmavirus transfection of Acholeplasma laidlawii

Journal Article · · Microbios; (United States)
OSTI ID:7295887
The addition of 0.1 M EDTA increases the sensitivity of the transfection of Acholeplasma laidlawii cells by mycoplasmavirus DNA, indicating that a nuclease activity may be present in this system. Both single- and double-stranded DNAs compete with the infectious DNA, so the cell has no specificity for the DNA strandedness.
