Figure 27 Schematic diagram of transduction. When bacteriophage DNA, shown by a dotted line, is excised from the bacterial genome it carries with it some bacterial DNA, shown as a solid line, from the infected bacteria. (You should view the larger version of this image to see the dotted line clearly.) this DNA is incorporated into new bacteriophage particles which are released and infect new bacteria of a different species. The bacterial DNA from the original bacteria is incorporated into the genome of the newly infected bacteria.
