Characteristics of plasmids Plasmid is a type of dna existence within bacteria >extrachromosomal genomes >self-replicating >commonly used vectors
3 Characteristics of plasmids Plasmid is a type of DNA existence within bacteria extrachromosomal genomes self-replicating commonly used vectors
Some bacterial characteristics are determined by plasmids L Antibiotic resistance Many bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics by acquisition of a plasmid 2. Colicins and bacteriocins Another property conferred by some plasmids that has been widely studied is the ability to produce a protein which has an antimicrobial action 3. Virulence determinants In some bacterial species toxin genes are carried on plasmids

ransformation Gene Transfer (I)Transformation, in which a cell takes up isolated DNA molecules from the medium surrounding it (2) Conjugation () Transduction

The developing prosess of transformation 1928, Fred griffith, working with pneumococcus(肺炎链球菌) avirulent strains could be restored to virulence by incubation with an extract from killed virulent cells 1944, Avery, macleod and mc carty demonstrated that the transforming principle waS DNA 1970, Mandel and hlga did the transformation by competent cells (chemical method, CaCl, deal with cells Now, transformation is very important because of its key role in gene cloning
7 The developing prosess of transformation 1928，Fred Griffith, working with pneumococcus(肺炎链球菌) avirulent strains could be restored to virulence by incubation with an extract from killed virulent cells. 1944，Avery, MacLeod and McCarty demonstrated that the ‘transforming principle’ was DNA. 1970，Mandel and Hlga did the transformation by competent cells （chemical method，CaCl，deal with cells ） Now， transformation is very important because of its key role in gene cloning
