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.

DNA segments and bacteria are joined by a process called transformation, where foreign DNA is taken up by bacterial cells and integrated into their own genome. This can result in the bacteria acquiring new genetic traits or characteristics.
A common method to introduce recombinant DNA into bacteria is through a process called transformation. In this process, bacteria are made competent to take up foreign DNA, usually through chemical treatment or electroporation. Once inside the bacteria, the recombinant DNA can replicate and be expressed.
Transformation
When bacteria take up DNA fragments through the process of transformation, they can incorporate the foreign DNA into their own genome through recombination. This can lead to genetic diversity and acquisition of new traits, such as antibiotic resistance.
Bacteria of the genus Lactobacilli.
Yes, DNA synthesis occurs in bacteria as part of their replication process. Bacteria replicate their DNA prior to cell division to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material. This process involves the duplication of the bacterial genome by enzymes such as DNA polymerase.
