For the purposes of molecular Biology: Transformation is the process of bacterial cells taking up naked DNA molecules and incorporating the genetic information. No actual cell-to-cell contact occurs.

Bacteria of the genus Lactobacilli.
transformation
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
Yes! bacteria can produce DNA as it also have genetic material in the form of DNA (plasmids) so as many time bacterial cell divide it produce DNA and intrestingly bacteria are used in many biotechnical process in which forigen DNA is incooperated in bacterial DNA for the production which then is isolated from the bacterial DNA.
== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.
