The process is called transformation. In transformation, bacteria take up free DNA from their environment. The DNA can be integrated into the bacterial cell's genome and can lead to genetic diversity within the bacterial population.
Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
== == transformation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transformation is the process in which a bacteria takes in DNA from the environment. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(genetics) By the way, transduction is the process of DNA transfer by the action of a virus (bacteriophages). The other method of DNA exchange between bacteria is called conjugation, which is the transfer of DNA between bacteria by physical contact.
Bacteria can be transformed with recombinant plasmid by introducing the plasmid into the bacterial cell through a process called transformation. This allows the bacteria to take up the recombinant DNA from the plasmid and express the desired gene or trait encoded in the DNA.

Bacterial structures involved in DNA passage include pili, which can facilitate DNA transfer between bacteria through conjugation, and plasmids which are small, circular DNA molecules that can be passed between bacteria. Additionally, some bacteria can take up DNA from their environment through a process known as transformation.
Conjugation Transformation Transduction (A bacterial cell takes up DNA from its environment One bacterium transfers DNA to another bacterium to which it's physically connected A virus moves DNA from one bacterial cell to another)
