  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> A gene ( <jats:italic>comC</jats:italic> ) essential for natural transformation was identified in <jats:italic>Acinetobacter</jats:italic> sp. strain BD413. ComC has a typical leader sequence and is similar to different type IV pilus assembly factors. A <jats:italic>comC</jats:italic> mutant (T308) is not able to bind or take up DNA but exhibits a piliation phenotype indistinguishable from the transformation wild type as revealed by electron microscopy. </jats:p>
