Kokjohn, Tyler A. 1989. Transduction: Mechanisms and Potential for Gene Transfer in the Environment. In: Gene Transfer in the Environment. Stuart B. Levy and Robert V. Miller, Editors. McGraw-Hill, New York, NY. Pp. 73-97. (ERL,GB X626).

The microbial ecologist will face considerable challenges in achieving the goal of manipulating microbes safely and performing valid ecological experiments. The potential exists for transduction mediated horizontal gene transfer in the natural environment. Assumptions concerning the persistence, mobility, expression, and even the presence or absence of introduced genetic material will need to be verified by rigorous experimentation.
