Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that transduction is the process of transferring genetic information from one bacterium to another via a phage?

Yes. Transduction is a well-established biological process wherein bacteriophages transfer genetic material from one bacterium to another.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the fundamental microbiological definition that bacteriophages mediate the horizontal transfer of genetic material between bacteria through transduction.
