摘要
The steps involved in the transformation of Bacillus subtilis are reviewed. These include the initial binding, processing and passage of DNA across the cell wall and transport across the plasma membrane. Our understanding of the roles of the proteins known to be required for these steps is reviewed. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
