    This document discusses four mechanisms of bacterial genetic exchange: conjugation, transformation, transduction, and transposition. Conjugation involves the transfer of DNA between two bacteria through direct cell contact or a pilus. Transformation is when a bacterium takes up naked DNA from the environment. Transduction occurs when a bacterium acquires DNA from another via a bacteriophage. Transposition is the movement of genetic material within the same cell. These mechanisms allow for horizontal gene transfer and genetic recombination between bacteria.
