  1. Bacterial genetics

  2. Gram-positive bacteria transform DNA using a transformasome complex. Figure 9.1

  3. Gene Transfer by Conjugation Conjugation is the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another, following cell-to-cell contact. - It is typically initiated by a special pilus protruding from the donor cell. Figure 9.2

  6. An integrated F-factor can excise from the chromosome. - Aberrant excision results in an F′ factor or F′ plasmid,which carries chromosomal genes. Figure 9.5
