During conjugation without cellular fusion, the aggregation or adhesion of compatible mating types via complementary cell-cell interactions. The union or introduction of genetic information from compatible mating types that results in a genetically different individual. Conjugation requires direct cellular contact between the organisms. The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules. Any process by which an organism has an effect on another organism of the same or different species. The aggregation or adhesion of compatible mating types via complementary cell-cell interactions prior to the formation of irreversible cellular contacts during conjugation. During conjugation with cellular fusion, the aggregation or adhesion of compatible mating types via complementary cell-cell interactions. An example of this process is agglutination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to a nonidentical adhesion molecule in an adjacent cell.
