Two conjugative plasmids (CPs) were isolated and characterized from the same ‘Sulfolobus islandicus’ strain, SOG2/4. The plasmids were separated from each other and transferred into Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Plasmid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal DNA molecule separate from the chromosomal DNA which is capable of replicating independently of the chromosomal DNA. In many cases, it is circular and double-strand...

Bacterial conjugation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bacterial conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between bacteria through direct cell-to-cell contact, or through a bridge-like connection between the two cells. Discovered in 1946 by Joshua...

A plasmid that can be mobilized or transferred from one bacterial cell to another through conjugation. ... F-plasmid is one example of conjugative plasmid. ... Most conjugative plasmids have systems, which make sure that the recipient cell does not already contain a similar element.

a. Conjugative plasmids - Conjugative plasmids are those that mediated conjugation. These plasmids are usually large and have all the genes necessary for autonomous replication and for transfer of DNA to a recipient (e.g. genes for sex pilus).

Natural conjugative plasmids expressed factors that induced planktonic bacteria to form or enter biofilm communities, which favour the infectious transfer of the plasmid. This general connection between conjugation and biofilms suggests that medically relevant plasmid-bearing strains are more likely to form a biofilm.
