Turkish - English
plasmid

The plasmid and the nucleoid are bacterial components that contain DNA. - Plazmid ve nükleoit DNA içeren bakteri bileşenleridir.

A circle of double-stranded DNA that is separate from the chromosomes, and which is found in bacteria and protozoa
A loop of DNA in bacteria which floats in the cytoplasm
Genetic element not contained within a chromosome. It occurs in many bacterial strains. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules that replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They are not essential for the bacterium but may give it a selective advantage. Some plasmids determine the production of proteins that can kill other bacteria; others make bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Plasmids are extremely valuable tools in the fields of molecular biology and genetics, specifically in the area of genetic engineering
Autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal circular DNA molecules, distinct from the normal bacterial genome and nonessential for cell survival under nonselective conditions Some plasmids are capable of integrating into the host genome A number of artificially constructed plasmids are used as cloning vectors
Independent, free-floating circular piece of DNA in a bacterium, capable of making copies of itself in the host cell Plasmids can be used in recombinant DNA experiments to clone genes from other organisms and make large quantities of their DNA
Extrachromosomal genetic material that is not essential for growth and has no extracellular form
An extrachromosomal genetic element found in bacteria, not essential for growth Usually contains genetic information for resistance to an antimicrobial agent or for degradation of additional substrates
Plasmid is a structure in cells consisting of DNA that can exist and replicate independently of the chromosomes In organisms (other than man) that have been studied, it appears that plasmids interfere with gene activity
A small circular form of DNA that carries certain genes and is capable of replicating independently in a host cell
A self-replicating (autonomous) circle of DNA distinct from the chromosomal genome of bacteria A plasmid contains genes normally not essential for cell growth or survival Some plasmids can integrate into the host genome, be artificially constructed in the laboratory and serve as vectors (carriers) in cloning
A small self-replicating ring of DNA found in many bacteria and some yeasts They are widely used in genetic modification because they are able to pass easily from one cell to another
A genetic particle physically separate from the chromosome of the host cell (chiefly bacterial) that can stably function and replicate; not essential to the cell's basic functioning Synonyms: extrachromosomal element, extrachromosomal genetic element, paragene (Dirckx, 1997)
A small circular piece of DNA in bacteria that resembles the bacterial circular chromosome, but is dispensable Some bacterial strains contain many plasmids and some contain none Plasmids are often used in genetic engineering as cloning vectors
A circular piece of DNA that exists apart from the chromosome and replicates independently of it Bacterial plasmids carry information that renders the bacteria resistant to antibiotics Plasmids are often used in genetic engineering to carry desired genes into organisms
A DNA molecule that can replicate independently of the chromosome; often used in cell regulation
An extra chromosomal genetic element found in bacteria, not essential for growth Usually contains genetic information for resistance to an antimicrobial agent or for degradation of additional substrates
a small, circular DNA molecule, separate from the bacterial chromosome, capable of independent replication
a small cellular inclusion consisting of a ring of DNA that is not in a chromosome but is capable of autonomous replication
A small, circular piece of DNA found outside the chromosome in bacteria Plasmids are the principal tools for inserting new genetic information into microorganisms or plants
