Preferred Label : transduction;
Detailed label : transduction in biotechnology;
IUPAC definition : The transfer of genetic information from one bacterium to another by means of a transducing

can be incorporated into the phage particles. This foreign DNA can be transferred
to the second host upon infection with progeny phage from the first experiment.;
