Salmonella typically has one circular chromosome. This single chromosome contains the majority of the bacterium's genetic information, and it is a characteristic feature of many bacteria. In addition to the main chromosome, Salmonella may also contain plasmids, which are smaller, circular DNA molecules that can carry additional genes.

What is the shape of a prokaryotic chromosome?

Prokaryotic chromosomes are typically circular in shape, meaning they form a closed loop. This circular chromosome is found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cell, unlike the linear chromosomes found in eukaryotic cells which are housed within the nucleus.
