Phénomène de transfert génétique, caractérisé par l'introduction dans une bactérie réceptrice d'un acide désoxyribonucléique extrait d'une autre bactérie génotypiquement différente. Les fragments absorbés deviennent des exogénotes et, par un processus de recombinaison, le ou les gènes qu'ils transportent peuvent se substituer aux unités homologues du chromosome de la bactérie réceptrice, qui acquiert ainsi certains caractères du donateur. 2, record 1, French, - transformation%20bact%C3%A9rienne
