2 Bacterial plasmids! 90,000 bp 99 coding 3 Natural plasmid are huge and contain a multitude of genes. E.g., the plasmid associated with the entero-hemolytic E. coli strain O157 is more than 90 kb (kilo-basepairs) long and contains genes for its on replication, transduction into an acceptor strain, pili, pathogeneity factors, and other.

3 Bacterial plasmids 2686 bp < 5 coding natural plasmid stripped to minimal elements 4 For biotechnological purposes, natural plasmids have been stripped down to their essentials.

Cell 55: Plasmids used in biotech have been stripped down to their essentials. The minimal requirement comprises: the origin of replication (in most cases oriv, derived from plasmid ColEI, which works by priming of DNA synthesis through RNA II (,primer ) and its counter-acting anti-sense RNA I, regulated by the 4-helix protein rop), Polisky B (1988) ColE1 replication control circuitry: sense from antisense.
