Bacteriocin Plasmids - Plasmids encoding bacterial exotoxins (BACTERIOCINS). |
|
F Factor - A plasmid whose presence in the cell, either extrachromosomal or integrated into the BACTERIAL CHROMOSOME, determines the "sex" of the bacterium, host chromosome mobilization, transfer via conjugation (CONJUGATION, GENETIC) of genetic material, and the formation of SEX PILI. |
|
Hemolysin Factors - Plasmids controlling the synthesis of hemolysin by bacteria. |
|
Lactose Factors - Plasmids which determine the ability of a bacterium to ferment lactose. |
|
Plant Tumor-Inducing Plasmids - Plasmids coding for proteins which induce PLANT TUMORS. The most notable example of a plant tumor inducing plasmid is the Ti plasmid found associated with AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS. |
|
R Factors - A class of plasmids that transfer antibiotic resistance from one bacterium to another by conjugation. |
