Transformants need external uptake or introduction, while transformation factors do not need external action.

Transformants are bacterial cells or other recipient cells that obtain new genetic markers by doping or introducing foreign DNA. Transformation factors are usually plasmid DNA. Plasmid fusion or virus infection is the reason for introducing foreign DNA.

Transformingfactor is a term of biochemistry and molecular biology published on 20 10, which comes from the cross-strait biochemistry and molecular biology term.
