Generalized transduction by random incorporation of bacterial DNA into phage heads Donor bacterium Phages carrying donor genes Transduced bacterium Recipient bacterium FIGURE 5-29 A newly forming phage may pick up DNA from its host cel's chromosome (top) and then inject it into a new cel(bottam right). The irjected DNA may insert into the new host's chromosome by recombination (bottom left). In reality orly a very smal minority of phage progeny (1 in 10,000) carry donor genes.
