Summary
Two characters, “Penicillin resistance” and “fructose utilizing ability”, were transferred in the recipient Rhizobium cowpea (source—Ground nut roots) with the help of the DNA extracted from Rhizobium phaseoli culture (source—French bean roots). The recipient culture enters the logarithmic growth phase at the end of 60 min. The percentage transformation frequency is maximum at the beginning of the exponential phase.
