Plasmids
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The extra ring found in bacteria is called a plasmid. Plasmids are small, circular pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often contain additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacterial cell, such as antibiotic resistance or the ability to metabolize certain substances.

Why do bacteria have extra chromosomal DNA?
Extra chromosomal DNA - plasmids- are useful to bacteria as they possess favourable genes conferring resistance to certain toxins/antibiotics and/or assist with the survival of the bacteria through metabolic benefits. The extra chromosomal DNA is only maintained if it has a purpose so a plasmid conferring antibiotic resistance will not be maintained by a bacterium in an antibiotic free environment...

Is there bacteria on bacteria?
There are no bacteria on other bacteria. Some bacteria do attack other bacteria by piercing their cell wall and injecting proteins.Viruses can attack bacteria. They are called bacteriophages.

What are plamids?
A plasmid is a circular ring of DNA that is separate from the main 'cluster' of DNA in a bacterium. They are not usually found in any other organisms apart from bacteria. They are used in genetic modification where and extra gene is inserted into the plasmid ring so the bacteria produces substances (such as insulin).
