7. conjugation
   Union between two gametes or between two cells leading to the transfer of genetic material. In eukaryotes the classic examples are in Paramecium and Spirogyra . Conjugation between bacteria involves an F+ bacterium (with F-pili) attaching to an F-; transfer of the F-plasmid then occurs through the sex pilus. In Hfr mutants the F-plasmid is integrated into the chromosome and so chromosomal material is transferred as well. Conjugation occurs in many Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces ).

21. Conjugation
    Conjugation is a form of sexual reproduction seen in some algae, some bacteria, and ciliate Protozoans. Two individuals are united by a tube formed by outgrowths from one or both of the cells. Genetic material from one cell (designated the male) then passes through the tube to unite with that in the other (female) cell.
