Plasmid DNA isolation from bacteria is a vital molecular biology method used to create template DNA for preferred downstream reactions. Plasmid isolation approaches are basic; however, high-throughput ...

Pathogenic bacteria have evolved numerous virulence mechanisms that are essential for establishing infections. The enterobacterium Yersinia uses a type III secretion system (T3SS) encoded by a ...

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are now known to negatively control plasmid replication. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are now known to negatively control plasmid replication, according to Thomas Wood, ...

Bacterial cells often possess molecules of closed, circular DNA, otherwise known as ‘plasmids’. They can also be present at much lower frequencies in certain eukaryotic cell types, such as yeast. They ...
