Bacterial Conjugation

Bacterial Conjugation is a specialized mechanism of horizontal gene transfer among bacteria wherein genetic material is directly transmitted from a donor to a recipient cell through a conjugative pilus, distinguished from other gene transfer processes by its requirement for cell-to-cell contact and plasmid-encoded machinery.
