Abstract excerpt
The 2 micrometer plasmid encodes a mechanism that ensures the partitioning of the plasmid at cell division. Little is known about the detailed mechanism of this partitioning system; for example, is there equal or unequal distribution of the plasmid molecules at mitosis? The plasmid also encodes a site-specific recombination system that is thought to be involved in plasmid copy-number amplification, although to...
