The following points highlight the three main processes involved in the genetic recombination of bacteria. The processes are: 1. Conjugation 2. Transformation 3. Transduction. Process # 1. Conjugation: Lederberg and Tatum (1946) discovered conjugation in E. coli and its detailed studies were made by Woolman and Jacob (1956). Conjugation, is a process by which genetic […]

The following points highlight the three main processes involved in the genetic recombination of bacteria. The processes are: 1. Conjugation 2. Transformation 3. Transduction. Process # 1. Conjugation: In this process, the exchange of genetic material takes place through a conjugation tube between the two cells of bacteria. The process was first postulated by Joshua […]
