Plasmids are extra chromosomal, double stranded, circular DNA molecules present in bacteria. Different kinds of bacterial plasmids based on encoded genes (their roles). F-plasmids (fertility factor or sex factors): Bacterial cells with F plasmids are called F+ cells and acts as donor cells or +strain during bacterial conjugation.
Scientists have taken advantage of plasmids to use them as tools to clone, transfer, and manipulate genes. Plasmids that are used experimentally for these purposes are called vectors. Researchers can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a so-called recombinant plasmid.his plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called transformation. Then, because bacteria divide rapidly, they can be used as factories to copy DNA fragments in large quantities. A plasmid is a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is distinct from a cell's chromosomal DNA.
