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.
A plasmid is a strand or loop of DNA that is typically found in bacteria as well as archae (single-cell organisms) and eukarya (organisms of complex cell structure). Plasmids carry only a few genes and exist independently of chromosomes, the primary structures that contain DNA in cells. Able 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. Others contain genes that help a host organism digest unusual substances or kill other types of bacteria. Several characteristics of plasmids make them easy to modify genetically.
