Bacteria can also transfer plasmids to one another through a process called conjugation ... into a bacterium by way of the process called transformation. Then, because bacteria divide rapidly ...

In particular, we study the fundamental mechanics and principles that influence bacterial conjugation. Our goal is to use this knowledge to ... Many processes can contribute to HGT, including ...

Bacterial genetics is the study of ... replica plating, mutagenesis, transformation, conjugation and transduction.

(1) Scientists select a specific microbe, such as a bacterial species, for CRISPR-mediated genetic manipulation. (2) Researchers deliver CRISPR system components using different methods, including ...
