PLASMIDS CHROMOSOME
Bacterial plasmids Most bacterial DNA is in a single large chromosome, but some DNA is in small circles called plasmids. • Plasmids can have genes which make bacteria resistant to antibiotics • Plasmids can be passed between bacteria

Plasmids can be manipulated easily in the laboratory • Plasmids can be collected from bacteria • Restriction enzymes can cut specific sequences of DNA • Ligase (enzyme) can paste pieces of DNA together • Bacteria can be transformed by taking in plasmids given to them
Cutting and Pasting DNA • Restriction enzymes act like molecular scissors – they cut the DNA! • Ligaseacts like molecular glue – it is used to reconnect the DNA that has been cut by restriction enzymes.

Transforming Bacteria • When a bacterial cell takes in a plasmid from the environment, it has new DNA (and therefore, new traits). • Scientists say that the bacteria has been transformed.
