Plasmids are closed, circular pieces of DNA that are able toself-replicate and are carried by many bacteria. They provideunique functions for bacteria by allowing them to sexuallyreplicate and to pass on genetic material between each other.Plasmids are also responsible for the genetic factors that giveresistance to antibiotics, and provide the enzymes needed to breakdown poorly metabolised food resources. The author has provided anupdated treatment of the structure, function and application ofplasmids suitable for undergraduates and medical students.Employing an original teaching perspective--examining plasmids asliving organisms with either a symbiotic or parasitic mode ofsurvival--this text provides an important framework forunderstanding the structure and function of plasmids in anevolutionary context.
* The most up to date text on plasmids
* An innovative teaching perspective makes for easy studentunderstanding
* Contains crucial chapters on the importance of plasmids forclinical and biological research
