DEF

(Transduction in which) the transducing vector consists of a random fragment of the bacterial chromosome and a phage coat after some phenotypic mixing-like process.

CONT

In principle, generalized transduction is quite similar to both conjugation and transformation, the major distinction being that the transferred DNA is protected this time by an infectious protein coat.

  • Génétique
DEF

Transduction dans laquelle les vecteurs transportent un exogénote qui peut correspondre à n'importe quel fragment du chromosome de la bactérie donatrice.

CONT

La transduction généralisée n'implique généralement qu'un seul gène. Cela mène à penser que la particule transduisante ne transporte qu'un tout petit segment de l'ADN de la bactérie donneuse.
