plasmid

This is similar to the mechanism used by several other plasmids.

Similar to viruses, plasmids are not considered by some to be a form of life.

The plasmids are available to both academic and industry labs.

The plasmid findings, they said, opened a new window on that question.

The researchers found that the cells were actually making more plasmids.

And any of these recipients can usually pass the plasmids on again.

Plasmids can belong to more than one of these functional groups.

The same plasmids can also cut themselves out again.

These, along with his control of the plasmid industry, made him immensely powerful.

It is portable, and can be transferred on a plasmid.

She retired in 1985 but continued to volunteer at the plasmid center.

But not all plasmids are good news for plants.

The number of identical plasmids within a single cell can range from one to thousands.

These plasmids are less stable, as they can get lost during the budding.

Plasmids used in this study are described in Table 3.

This leaves the introduced plasmids as the only independent variable.

It was there that he began to explore the field of bacterial plasmids.

Next, the plasmids are inserted into bacteria by a process called transformation.

Transformation of a bacterial host with two different plasmids is required.

The plasmid has 196 genes that code for 195 proteins.

This element cannot be assigned to any known group of viruses or plasmids.

From the viewpoint of the bacterium, plasmids have two effects.

We have seen that they can acquire new characteristics if infected by a plasmid.

One way of grouping plasmids is by their ability to transfer to other bacteria.

It is possible for plasmids of different types to coexist in a single cell.
