Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bacterial transformation is the process of genetic alteration of a bacterial cell resulting from the direct uptake, incorporation, as well as expression of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]) from its surroundings via the cell membrane.
