COLLABORATIVE ACTIVES. “Plasmids often encode and express genes of a variety of functions apart from those for their own mobility and replication, such as antibiotic resistance, virulence, environmental protection (including biofilm formation), DNA repair and supplementary metabolic pathways. They can thus be seen as collaborative elements that enhance the functionality and adaptiveness of their host cells.”
