The E. Later, it has been discovered that the transformation in E. This can be done by exposure of E. This type of transformation is called artificial.
During this process, the recipient bacterial cells are able to take up double stranded DNA fragments. Physical or chemical treatment forces the recipient bacterial cell to receive exogenous DNA. This involves nick i. The generally accepted model of the above phenomenon is given below Fig. This was discovered by Joshua Leaderberg and Nortor Zinder during their research with Salrv onella typhimurium.
In this process, a small fragment of bacterial DNA is incorporated into an attacking bacteriophage i. The phage does not cause the lysis of the host bacterium. In the bacterial cell, the phage nucleic acid codes for the synthesis of specific proteins, the repressor proteins. The repressor proteins prevent the virus to produce the material require for its replication. The bacterial cell which carries the prophage is called lysogenic and the phenomenon where the phage DNA and bacterium exist together is called lysogeny.
However, in course of time, the phage stops the synthesis of repressor proteins in the bacterial cell, and then the synthesis of phage components starts. During this separation, a number of genes of the bacterium get attached to it. These attached genes keep on replicating along with the phage DNA Fig. When the new phage particle Fig. Thus the new bacterial cell contains its own genes and several genes from the parent bacterial cell.
This type of transduction is known as specialised transduction, which is an extremely rare event. In this process, the phage DNA starts synthesising new phages. During this process chromosome of bacterial cell gets fragmented Fig. This type of transduction is called generalised transduction.

The use of subdomains for homology searches would reduce the time it takes to find a homologous partner. Despite such theories, the exact mechanism responsible for locating and lining up homologous segments remains to be determined.
