Antibiotic resistance can be either plasmid mediated or maintained on the bacterialchromosome.
2
We conclude that bacterialchromosome segregation is best understood in terms of spontaneous demixing of daughter strands.
3
To investigate the crosstalk between the bacterialchromosome and the exogenous virulence plasmid, a virulence plasmid-cured strain was constructed using plasmid incompatibility.
4
One copy of mrkA was located on the bacterialchromosome, and the other copy was associated with mrkD and located on a plasmid.
5
Precomputed comparisons can be selected from a database covering all the completed bacterialchromosome and plasmid sequences in the Genome Reviews database (1).
6
Analysis of 15 complete bacterialchromosomes revealed important biases in gene organization.
7
All three replicons were stable outside of the bacterialchromosomes.
8
We investigated 53 complete bacterialchromosomes for intrachromosomal repeats.
9
We present a new physical biology approach to understanding the relationship between the organization and segregation of bacterialchromosomes.
10
These elements suggest that DNA replication in brucellaphages differs from other phages, and might resemble that of bacterialchromosomes.
