Transformation
DNA segments and bacteria are joined by a process called transformation, where foreign DNA is taken up by bacterial cells and integrated into their own genome. This can result in the bacteria acquiring new genetic traits or characteristics.

Bacteria transfer DNA with a bacteriophage.
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.

The process in which bacteria take up a piece of DNA from their environment is known as transformation. During transformation, bacteria can incorporate free-floating DNA from lysed cells or surrounding environments into their own genome. This genetic material can provide new traits, such as antibiotic resistance or metabolic capabilities. Transformation is one of the mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer, alongside transduction and conjugation.

For the purposes of molecular biology: Transformation is the process of bacterial cells taking up naked DNA molecules and incorporating the genetic information. No actual cell-to-cell contact occurs.
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.
