Question

Briefly describe the mechanisms by which bacteria perform horizontal gene transfer. Which ones are limited to members of the same species or require direct contact? Which methods allow microbes to take up foreign DNA from unrelated species? In your opinion, which of the methods would be best to use if you wanted to give a bacteria a piece of DNA you engineered? Why?
