Читать книгу Snyder and Champness Molecular Genetics of Bacteria - Tina M. Henkin - Страница 38

In 1953, Norton Zinder and Joshua Lederberg (see Suggested Reading) discovered yet a third mechanism of gene transfer between bacteria. They showed that a phage of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium could carry DNA from one bacterium to another. This means of gene exchange is called transduction and is now known to be quite widespread (see chapter 7).
