Bacterial conjugation. Computer artwork showing genetic material being transferred from one bacterium to another - a process known as conjugation. A section of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) from a plasmid (circular DNA) in the donor bacterium (left) is passed through an enlarged pilus (hair-like) and into the recipient (right). Once transferred,the plasmid genes are incorporated into the recipient's DNA | |
