title: [Cell differentiation and its regulation during genetic transformation in bacteria].
abstract: Mechanisms determining cell differentiation at the intracellular and intercellular levels during genetic transformation of certain bacterial species are reviewed. The "predetermination" both of cell outer layers and of chromosomal DNA to transformation before interaction with the transforming DNA is discussed.
