Bacterial conjugation

ID: bacterial-conjugation

Bacterial conjugation is a process by which bacteria transfer genetic material between one another through direct cell-to-cell contact. This typically occurs via a structure called a pili, which is a hair-like appendage that allows one bacterium (the donor) to connect to another (the recipient). The main steps involved in bacterial conjugation are: 1. **Formation of Pilus**: The donor bacterium produces a pilus that attaches to the recipient bacterium.
