Description: WEBMay 3, 2021 · Bacterial Conjugation Definition. Conjugation is the transfer of a plasmid or other self-transmissible DNA element and sometimes chromosomal DNA from a donor cell to a recipient cell via direct contact usually mediated by a conjugation pilus or sex pilus. Recipients of the DNA transferred by conjugation are called transconjugants.

Description: WEB9.6: Conjugation. Page ID. Michael W. Klymkowsky and Melanie M. Cooper. University of Colorado Boulder and Michigan State University. There are two other processes that can lead to horizontal gene transfer in bacteria: conjugation and transduction. In contrast to transformation, these processes “force” DNA into what may be a reluctant cell.
