Microbiology Department at BMS College for Women: Transduction Process Explained
Discover how bacterial DNA in a phage recombines with a recipient's DNA to create stable transductants in the microbiology department at BMS College for Women. Learn about the role of host recombinase recA and phage integrase in this process. Specialized transduction and homologous recombination are explored in detail through informative slides.

BMS COLLEGE FOR WOMEN DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY TRANSDUCTION
If the bacterial DNA in the phage is from the bacterial chromosome, the DNA recombines with the homologous DNA of the bacterial recipient to generate stable transductants. This process requires a host recombinase, recA. Specialized transduction is independent of host homologous recombination and recA but requires phage integrase.
