2.Method Bifidobacterium plasmid was extracted by mutanolysin from Streptomyces globisporus which could lyse the wall of bifidobacterium.The result was compared with that by lysozyme.
12.Plasmids have relatively few genes and their genetic information is not essential to the bacterium and cells that lack them usually function normally.
13.Soon after, others began using plasmid vectors and adding genes for antibiotic resistance, greatly increasing the reach of the recombinant techniques. [81]
15.More specialized vectors have been engineered to use aspects of plasmids and bacteriophages, such as the plasmid-bacteriophage h hybrids known as cosmids
18.I did all these experiments actually, with my own hands, I was 58 years old, I was still culturing plasmids and feeding cells, so it is very unlikely.
19.The cytoplasm contains ribosomes which are the site of protein synthesis, the nucleoid which contains the genetic material, and plasmids which contain genes that confer a selective advantage to the bacterium.
20.Plasmid and phage vectors have been used to express genes in a range of bacteria, and some phages may be used to incorporate DNA into the host genome.
