What are degrades?

degradative plasmids are types of plasmids present in certain bacterias such as pseudomonas putida which impart the ability of degrade xenobiotic compounds such as salicylic acid, 2-4D etc.there are 3 such plasmids-1)CAM plasmid- which degrades camphor.2)XYL ,, - ,, ,, xylene.3)NAH ,, - ,, ,, napthalene.in addition to this CAM also has octane degrading OCT part & NAH has salicylic acid degrading SAL part.


Do degradative reactions cause death?

Degradative reactions can cause cellular death. If the resulting factor is not treated appropriately the death of the organism can occur.


What are cryptic plasmids and their properties?

Cryptic plasmids are plasmids that have no known function. They occur in a number of bacterial species. A plasmid is a circular loop of DNA, found, for the most part in prokaryotic cells (bacteria). It is much smaller than the single chromosome. Most bacterial plasmids fall into two main groups. There are relatively few copies per cell of large plasmids, with about 100,000 base pairs. These have enough genes to encode approximately 100 polypeptide chains. There are rather more copies of smaller plasmids that have around 10,000 or fewer base pairs (enough to code for up to about 10 genes). At least some cryptic plasmids have been found to contain replication genes.


What causes protozoan plasmids?

Protozoa do not have plasmids in nature.


What is a promiscuous plasmids?

What are the 2 types of DNA plasmids found in microorganisms?

Plasmids are autonomous DNA molecules of varying size which are localized within the cytoplasm of bacteria. There are two kinds:virulence plasmids = determines the virulence factors of the bacteriaresistance plasmids (R-plasmids) = determines the bacteria's resistance to anti-infective agents

Is 2H2O O2 synthetic or degradative reaction?

An example of spontaneous decomposition is that of hydrogen peroxide, which will slowly decompose into water and oxygen: : 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 thus it would be a degradative reaction


Plasmids are unique to what?

Plasmids are small segments of genetic material which are passed from one bacteria to another, so plasmids are unique to bacteria, which may also be referred to as prokaryotes.
