MOLECULAR REPLICONS. “Bacterial plasmids are nucleotide sequences floating in the cytoplasm of bacteria. These molecules replicate independently from the main chromosomal DNA and are not essential to the survival or replication of their host. Plasmids are thought to be part of the bacterial domain’s mobilome, a sort of genetic commonwealth which most, if not all, bacterial cells can pull from, incorporate and express.”
