Unlike typical bacterial conjugation systems that are activated upon bacterial contact with solid surfaces, the pLS20 plasmid ...

A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Plasmids naturally exist in bacterial cells, and they also occur in some eukaryotes.

into dangerous bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae, in a blink. The word “episome” would later be replaced by a synonym, “plasmid.” Scientists now recognize plasmids as a major mechanism ...

Initially, the agrobacterium cell contains a bacterial chromosome and a Tumor-inducing plasmid (Ti plasmid). The Ti plasmid is removed from the agrobacterium cell, and a restriction enzyme cleaves the ...

Bacteria in our intestines engage in genetic exchanges, called bacterial conjugation, and sometimes this gene swapping promotes antibiotic resistance. Could zinc, a well-known supplement, help curb ...
