Evolution of Natural Transformation: Testing the DNA Repair Hypothesis in Bacillus Subtilis and Haemophilus Influenzae

The hypothesis that the primary function of bacterial transformation is DNA repair was tested in the naturally transformable bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Haemophilus influenzae by determining whether competence for transformation is regulated by DNA damage. Accordingly, DNA damage was induced by m...
