Answer
Examples of bacterial transformation:
- The most notable and earliest recognized example of bacterial transformation is the conversion of DNA from smooth capsule-positive colonies of Streptococcus pneumonia to rough capsule-negative colonies
- In B. subtilis, transformation occurs through the absorption of donor DNA into recipient cells, followed by the integration of a portion of the donor DNA into the host chromosome.
