Introduction Plasmids are circular‚ double stranded extrachromosomal DNA molecules that are found in bacteria which can self-replicate. They are naturally occurring DNA molecules advantageous to the host bacterium by carrying genes which specify metabolic capacities. (Garrett et al.‚ 2010) Besides‚ plasmids exist in a wide variety of sizes from a few thousands to hundreds of thousands of base pairs. Many plasmids have been engineered to serve as plasmids cloning vectors to carry genes. (Synder et
