Bacteria may reproduce sexually by three methods -

1. bacterial transformation - the DNA molecule of the donor cell, when liberated by its disintegration, is taken up by another recipient cell and its offspring inherit some characters of the donor cell

2. bacterial conjugation - genetic recomibination takes place between donor fragment and receipient DNA when two bacteria lie side by side

3. bacterial transduction - bacterial viruses or DNA is responsible for the transfer of DNA from one bacteria to another.eg. bacteriophage
