Transduction (genetics) - Wikipedia
Generalized transduction occurs when random pieces of bacterial DNA are packaged into a phage. It happens when a phage is in the lytic stage, at the moment that the viral DNA is packaged into phage heads.
7.11C: Bacterial Transduction - Biology LibreTexts
Transduction is a method for transferring genetic material. The packaging of bacteriophage DNA has low fidelity and small pieces of bacterial DNA, together with the bacteriophage genome, may become packaged into the bacteriophage genome.
Bacterial Transduction: Definition, Principle, Steps, Examples
2023年7月11日 · Transduction is the transfer of bacterial DNA from a donor to a recipient bacterium via a virus particle. The virus particle that infects bacteria is called a bacteriophage or phage, and the phages used for the transfer of DNA are called transfusing phages. Not all phages are transducing phages.
Genetic transduction by phages and chromosomal islands
2019年8月8日 · Generalized transduction, discovered in Salmonella phage P22, was the first mechanism of phage-mediated gene transfer to be identified . It is the process by which phages can package any bacterial DNA (chromosomal or plasmid) and transfer it to another bacterium.
Bacteriophages benefit from generalized transduction - PMC
Here we show that generalized transduction, one type of bacterial DNA transfer by phages, can create conditions where not only the recipient host but also the transducing phage benefit.
Phage-mediated horizontal gene transfer and its implications ...
Phage transduction is a type of HGT event in which a bacteriophage transfers non-viral DNA from one bacterial host cell to another. The abundance of tailed bacteriophages in the human gut suggests that transduction could act as a significant mode of HGT in the gut microbiome.
Phage Transduction - PubMed
Bacteriophages mediate horizontal gene transfer through a mechanism known as transduction. Phage transduction carried out in the laboratory involves a bacterial donor and a recipient, both of which are susceptible to infection by the phage of interest.
