| conjugation | 1. The act of joining together or the state of being conjugated. 2. <cell biology> A sexual process seen in bacteria, ciliate protozoa and certain fungi in which nuclear material is exchanged during the temporary fusion of two cells (conjugants). In bacterial genetics a form of sexual reproduction in which a donor bacterium (male) contributes some or all, of its DNA (in the form of a replicated set) to a recipient (female) which then incorporates differing genetic information into its own chromosome by recombination and passes the recombined set on to its progeny by replication. In ciliate protozoa, two conjugants of separate mating types exchange micronuclear material and then separate, each now being a fertilized cell. In certain fungi, the process involves fusion of two gametes, resulting in union of their nuclei and formation of a zygote. 3. <chemistry> The joining together of two compounds to produce another compound, such as the combination of a toxic product with some substance in the body to form a detoxified product, which is then eliminated. Origin: L. Conjugatio = a blending (18 Nov 1997) |

| conjugation, genetic | A parasexual mechanism in bacteria for achieving unidirectional transfer of all or part of the chromosome from an f+ or hfr donor ("male") to an f- ("female") recipient. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacterial conjugation | <molecular biology> The process of transferring a certain plasmid of DNA known as the f plasmid (or sex plasmid) from bacteria individuals who have it (known as males) to bacteria individuals who do not already have it (known as females) by way of direct contact between the bacteria individuals called a conjugation bridge. Once transfer is completed, the female individual becomes a male individual and both parties have a copy of the F plasmid. (09 Oct 1997) |

| conjugation |
In general, any of various sexual processes in microorganisms in which gene transfer follows the establishment of direct contact between two (or more) cells which typically show little or no morphological differentiation from vegetative cells. In bacterial conjugation, one bacterium (the "male" or donor cell) transfers DNA to another (the "female" or recipient cell) while the cells are in physical contact; a recipient that has received DNA from a donor is called a transconjugant.
