Production and Regeneration of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans Spheroplasts

We investigated the production and regeneration of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans spheroplasts. Regeneration frequencies of up to 90% reversion were obtained. Attempts to transform T. ferrooxidans spheroplasts with a recombinant T. ferrooxidans plasmid were unsuccessful.
