hi..
   I badly need some help here.  I have been trying my best to transform my
bacillus isolate with a plasmid construct.  The isolate looks like a new
strain of Bacillus subtilis.  But I need to put my construct into it.  I
have tried natural competency method, electroporation etc..and even
triparental mating.  But to no avail.  The strain stubbornly refuses to
accept the DNA>  Can any good samaritan give me some ideas on how to go
about it.  I will be eternally grateful to him.
   thank you
sincerley
