About this document
Transduction in Bacteriophages Explained by Archana Rakibe is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Transduction is a process where genes are transferred between bacteria through bacteriophages. It was discovered in 1952 by Joshua Lederberg and Norton Zinder. There are two types: generalized transduction, where bacterial DNA enters the phage due to an error during the lytic cycle, and specialized transduction, where DNA enters the phage during the lysogenic cycle and integrates at a specific site. Both can transfer bacterial DNA to new host cells during subsequent infections.
