A plasmid, a circular and small double-stranded DNA entity that replicates independently in bacterial cells, is at the centre of this development. This plasmid vector is important for transferring ...

Fu and colleagues used Vibrio cholerae bacteria as a model for studying the plasmid defense system known as DdmDE, consisting of proteins called DdmD and DdmE, using cryo-electron microscopy to ...

Mariam albatoul Reslan “Genes are a powerful tool for unlocking the mysteries of human health and disease.” To begin with, ...

In the second step, after the bacteria with the SD cassette has been isolated using antibiotic selection, a circular DNA strand called "pSLICER plasmid" is introduced into the cell.

Conjugation has classically been considered a bacterium-to-bacterium DNA transfer driven by the donor cell and is typically plasmid-encoded. Theoretically it is possible that any type of cell can ...

When the microbiologist Jillian Banfield and her colleagues started combing through samples of mud from wetland environments three years ago, they had a specific goal in mind: to recover and analyze ...

A plasmid is a small ring-shaped DNA molecule, a so-called mobile genetic element, found in bacteria and certain other types of microorganisms. It is reminiscent of viruses, since both are ...

Overall world revenue for the viral vectors and plasmid DNA manufacturing market is forecast to surpass US$1.35 billion in 2024, with strong revenue growth through to 2034.

In the process, a bacterium produces a copy of its plasmid, a ring-shaped piece of DNA in the bacterium. Next, the bacterium transfers the plasmid to an adjacent bacterium.
