Importance. Plasmids come in many different sizes and are used for many different purposes in biotechnology. They first made their mark in the field of recombinant DNA in the 1970s, being used as a tool to insert genes into bacteria to encourage their production of therapeutic proteins such as human insulin.ble to self-replicate, plasmids can be picked up from the environment and transferred between bacteria. Plasmids are used by their host organism to cope with stress-related conditions. Many plasmids, for example, carry genes that code for the production of enzymes to inactivate antibiotics or poisons.
Widely used component: Restriction enzymes: are DNA-cutting enzymes found in bacteria.They are molecular scissors that cut DNA into fragments at specific sites in their sequence.Many bacteria make these enzymes to protect themselves from foreign DNA brought into their cells by viruses.g: Eco RI obtained from Escherichia coli RY 13 Plasmids: are naturally occurring, stable genetic elements found in bacteria. Plasmids almost always exist and replicate independently of the chromosome of the cell in which they are found and hence used in cloning techniques and are efficient cloning vectors.
