In many types of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell: a linear or covalently closed circular molecule of DNA, (distinct from chromosomal DNA, mtDNA, ctDNA, or kDNA and commonly dispensable to the cell), that can replicate autonomously (i.e., independently of other replicons).

• (n.) A piece of DNA, usually circular, functioning as part of the genetic material of a cell, not integrated with the chromosome and replicating independently of the chromosome, but transferred, like the chromosome, to subsequent generations. In bacteria, plasmids often carry the genes for antibiotic resistance; they are exploited in genetic...

A supercoiled plasmid is the predominant in vivo form in which the plasmid is coiled around histone-like proteins. Supporting proteins are stripped away during extraction from the bacterial cell, causing the plasmid molecule to supercoil around itself in vitro. Photo credit: Stanley Maloy, Director,...

a circular piece of DNA found in the cell cytoplasm of bacteria which is able to reproduce itself independently of it host. Plasmids may transmit a resistance to antibiotics from one bacteria to another. They are of great importance in techniques using for recombinant DNA.

(= episome) A small, independently-replicating, piece of cytoplasmic DNA that can be transferred from one organism to another. Linear or circular DNA molecules found in both pro- and eukaryotes capable of autonomous replication. ‘Stringent` plasmids occur at low copy number in cells, ‘relaxed` plasmids at high copy number, ca 10-30. Plasmids can become incorporated into the genome of the host, or can remain independent. An example is the F-factor of E.coli . May transfer genes, and plasmids carrying antibiotic-resistant genes can spread this trait rapidly through the population. Described largely from bacteria and protozoa. Widely used in genetic engineering as vectors of genes (cloning vectors).

Plasmid: A circle of DNA that is self-replicating (autonomously replicating) and distinct from the normal genome of bacteria. A plasmid contains genes that as a rule are not essential to the growth or survival of the cell. Some plasmids can integrate into the host genome, can be artificially constructed in the laboratory, and serve as cloning vecto...
