Recently, I'm working on a bacteria isolated from soil. It's hard to transfom. I have used chemical transformation and electrotransformation methods. They all failed. Then I found phage transduction. But I found little articles which used phage as a tool to transfer plasmid. I want to know why? If I want to use phage as a tool to transfer plasmid, is it feasible? I think maybe the reason is it's hard to isolate a lysogenic phage.
