[DNA uptake by bacterial cells: a natural process and laboratory techniques].
The mechanisms of DNA uptake during natural transformation of various bacterial species and the methods of the artificial introduction of DNA into bacterial cells and protoplasts are considered. The evolution of views on the bacterial competence and its genetic control during history of investigation of the transformation is discussed.
