Postselective (directed) mutagenesis was used to create mutants of M.
vaccae B3805 showing changed abilities for steroid biotransformations.
Three morphological classes of such mutants, differing in colony colo
ur: yellow, white and pink, were selected. Some of them can be helpful
in genetic studies of steroid biotransformation. Two mutants were als
o shown to be hosts for foreign DNA.
