Genetic Transformation of Plasmid DNA into Escherichia coli Using High Frequency Electromagnetic Energy - PubMed
We present a novel technique of genetic transformation of bacterial cells mediated by high frequency electromagnetic energy (HF EME). Plasmid DNA, pGLO (5.4 kb), was successfully transformed into <i>Escherichia coli</i> JM109 cells after exposure to 18 GHz...
Citric acid/β‑alanine carbon dots as a novel tool for delivery of plasmid DNA into E. coli cells - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-03437-y.pdf
We have no context for this information.
"In molecular biology and genetics, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane(s)."
Not that the DNA became the cell, but the DNA was introduced into the cell, which is misleadingly called "transformed into".
Was concerned that we had Genesis 6 and Daniel 2 on our hands, but maybe later this year.
