Jiang and Paul (1998) described plasmid transduction
of a lysogenic marine phage host system, φHSIC/HSIC.
Concomitant with acquisition of plasmid DNA was the
acquisition of a portion of the viral genome, as indicated
by molecular probing with a 100 bp gene fragment of the
transducing phage. Transfer frequencies were quite low
(10-9 to 10-7).
