New synthetic origin of replication lets multiple plasmids coexist in one bacterial cell
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," goes the old adage, which Rice University professor James Chappell completely ignored in a recent Nature Communications publication. In the study, Chappell describes ...
Plasmids are extrachromosomal DNA elements that exemplify bacterial adaptability by harboring genes for antibiotic resistance, virulence, metabolic versatility, and stress tolerance across species ...
Plasmids are extrachromosomal mobile genetic elements whose copy numbers (PCNs) critically influence microbial evolution, antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity. Despite their importance and immense ...
The term “plasmid” was coined by Joshua Lederberg in 1952 to describe extrachromosomal genetic elements observed during studies of bacterial conjugation and antibiotic resistance. Their transformation ...
