Plasmid Exchange is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell to cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells.
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
Pili are filaments that help bacteria stick to the surface and exchange plasmid through conjugation.
A helper plasmid is one that allows for the beginning of replication and transfer of other plasmids from a donor to a recipient. Without a helper plasmid, transposons will not be expressed in the recipient.
Recombiant DNA
In the production of a recombinant plasmid, the DNA of interest (insert) and the plasmid vector are both cut with restriction enzymes to create compatible ends. These cut fragments are then ligated together using DNA ligase to produce the recombinant plasmid.

R-plasmid
TOL plasmid
You can determine if your bacteria contain a plasmid by performing a plasmid extraction followed by gel electrophoresis to visualize the presence of plasmid DNA. Other methods include PCR amplification of plasmid-specific sequences or using molecular biology techniques like restriction enzyme digestion to confirm the presence of a plasmid.
Plasmid is extrachromosomal DNA capable of self replication.
A plasmid which encodes genes for its own transfer.
A helper plasmid is one that allows for the beginning of replication and transfer of other plasmids from a donor to a recipient. Without a helper plasmid, transposons will not be expressed in the recipient.
Recombiant DNA
You can have a maximum of 8 plasmid slots.
