Molecular organization of plasmids, their mechanisms of replication and metabolic activity were discussed in detail with particular stress put on their common features such as structure similarity, segregational and structural stability, biochemical traits and the presence of insertion sequences. The role of plasmid borne IS elements on plasmid stability and adaptative properties of LAB were also discussed.}, type={Text}, title={Plasmids of lactic acid bacteria}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/91941/PDF/POZN271_118373_biotechnologia-2005-no3-walczak.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology, lactic acid bacteria, plasmid}, }
