There are three ways in which exogenous dna can be introduced into a bacterial genome. These are; transduction, transformation and conjugation. Transduction is the introduction of exogenous material into bacteria by viruses; conjugation is exchange of genetic material between bacteria sexual through reproduction; while transformation is uptake of exogenous dna by bacteria, from its surrounding, through the bacterial membrane.
