Transformation in bacteria involves the uptake and incorporation of external DNA into a bacterium’s genome or as an independent plasmid. In natural transformation, bacteria release and absorb genetic material under certain environmental conditions, while artificial transformation is a laboratory process where cells are treated to make their membranes permeable to DNA. This transformation alters the genetic makeup of the bacterium, potentially introducing new phenotypic characteristics.
