in biotechnology
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06438
The transfer of genetic information from one bacterium to another by means of a transducing bacteriophage. When the phage is grown on the first host, a fragment of the host @D01597@ can be incorporated into the phage particles. This foreign @D01597@ can be transferred to the second host upon infection with progeny phage from the first experiment.
