Microbial Recombination and Plasmids
Chapter OverviewThis chapter begins with a general discussion of bacterial recombination, plasmids,
and transposable elements, and then examines the acquisition of genetic information
by conjugation, transformation, and transduction. The way these recombination
procedures are used to map the bacterial genome is explained. Finally, viral
recombination and genome mapping are discussed.
