Transformability of Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1962 SUMMARY: A method is described for the preparation of highly competent (transformable) bacteria of Haemophilus influenzae. After three successive treatments, i.e. aerobic growth, anaerobic incubation and incubation in saline containing a few per cent broth, transformation frequencies close to 5% have been obtained.
