bacterial conjugation

These plasmids can be transferred between cells through bacterial conjugation.

Pili are involved in the process of bacterial conjugation.

This single strand is eventually transferred to the recipient cell during the process of bacterial conjugation.

Likewise, bacteria may exchange genetic information by bacterial conjugation.

The role of sexual reproduction in evolution was understood, and bacterial conjugation was discovered.

Bacterial conjugation, transduction and transformation are their methods.

Relaxosome is the complex of proteins that facilitates plasmids during bacterial conjugation.

It is homologous to Bacterial conjugation machinery of bacteria (and archaeal flagella).

Plasmids may be transferred between cells by physical contact, in a process that may be similar to bacterial conjugation.

Bacterial conjugation is often incorrectly regarded as the equivalent of sexual reproduction, since it involves the exchange of genetic material.

The nic site or nick region is found within the origin of transfer (oriT) site and is key in starting bacterial conjugation.

Bacterial conjugation, a process in which a bacterial cell transfers genetic material to another cell by cell-to-cell contact.

The third method of gene transfer is bacterial conjugation, where DNA is transferred through direct cell contact.

Conjugative pili allow the transfer of DNA between bacteria, in the process of bacterial conjugation.

Prokaryotes can acquire novel genetic material through the process of bacterial conjugation in which both plasmids and whole chromosomes can be passed between organisms.

However, bacterial conjugation is controlled by plasmid genes that are adapted for spreading copies of the plasmid between bacteria.

Bacterial conjugation is when bacteria give each each DNA by touching each other or making something like a bridge to go between them.

Karyogamy is the fusion of pronuclei of two cells, as part of syngamy, fertilization, or true bacterial conjugation.

They mediate intracellular transfer of macromolecules via a mechanism ancestrally related to that of bacterial conjugation machineries.

These circular plasmids consist of a conserved backbone that is responsible for replication and bacterial conjugation of the plasmid.

Lederberg and Tatum showed that the bacterium Escherichia coli entered a sexual phase during which it could share genetic information through bacterial conjugation.

"DNA Processing Reactions in Bacterial Conjugation."

Bacteria also exchange DNA by bacterial conjugation, the benefits of which include resistance to antibiotics and other toxins, and the ability to utilize new metabolites.

Since the Ti plasmid is essential to cause disease, pre-penetration events in the rhizosphere occur to promote bacterial conjugation - exchange of plasmids amongst bacteria.
