Result Both mutanolysin and lysozyme could successfully lyse the wall of bifidobacterium and extract the plasmid from Bifidobacterium.

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.

Cotransfection of GalT I promoter /luciferase reporter and Ets-1 expression plasmid increased the luciferase reporter activity in a dose dependent manner.

The plasmid contains the gene for antibiotic resistance.

Scientists use plasmids to manipulate and study genes.

Bacteria can transfer plasmids to other bacteria through conjugation.

The plasmid replication process is essential for genetic engineering.

Plasmids are commonly used as vectors in gene cloning experiments.

Genes can be inserted into plasmids using restriction enzymes.

Plasmids are circular DNA molecules commonly found in bacteria.

The plasmid can replicate independently of the host cell's chromosomal DNA.

Plasmids play a crucial role in horizontal gene transfer among bacteria.

Researchers can use plasmids to express foreign genes in host cells.

Some are exchanged via small loops of DNA called plasmids.

Additionally to the genetic material contained within the nucleoid, many bacteria contain extra chromosomal DNA molecules called plasmids.

However, plasmids often contain genes that confer a selective advantage to the bacterium such as resistance to antibiotics.

Then they dropped the plasmid into a living bacterium, or yeast.

These plasmids are small double-stranded DNA molecules that can exist independently of the chromosome and they can be circular or linear.

Transfer of the ligated plasmid into an E. coli strain (transformation).

So essentially, these plasmids are the vehicles that transfer genes for antibiotic resistance between different bacterial species.

This plasmid mutation has been seen in other places before; in China, in animals and some human patients.

The plasmid enters and multiplies itself within a cell and can then be transferred to others.

Plasmids have relatively few genes and their genetic information is not essential to the bacterium and cells that lack them usually function normally.
