Dear Josh:

Enclosed is the manuscript that I discussed with you over the phone.
I believe this process of integration is extremely important in B. subtilis
and shows an analogy between transformation and lysogeny. We are currently
testing the recombination against pMB9. Please feel free to show the manu-
script and discuss it with your students as I mentioned in our conversation.
Could it be reviewed rapidly? I believe it is an important communication
that could significantly influence the current level of thinking on rDNA.
Possible reviewers include Stan Cohen, John Spizizen and Don Helinski in
addition to yourself.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

 

FEY: jm
