Bioremediation
Transduction is the process by which genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another via a bacteriophage, a type of virus that infects bacteria. This mechanism plays a crucial role in horizontal gene transfer, allowing for genetic diversity and adaptation among microbial communities. It highlights the interconnectedness of microorganisms, especially in contaminated environments, where they can exchange traits that enhance their survival and ability to degrade pollutants.
