In 1946, Joshua Lederberg and Edward Tatum first described the phenomenon known as bacterial conjugation using E. coli as a model bacterium and it remains the primary model to study conjugation.E. coli was an integral part of the first experiments to understand phage genetics,and early researchers, such as Seymour Benzer, used E. coli and phage T4 to understand the topography of gene structure.Prior to Benzer's research, it was not known whether the gene was a linear structure, or if it had a branching pattern.
