A plasmid is a separate intracellular fragment of DNA[1] that can replicate independently of, chromosomal DNA within a cell. plasmids are found primarily in bacteria, but may be present occasionally in archaea and eukaryotes. Plasmids are generally circular DNA molecules.[2] Unlike the chromosomal DNA of bacteria, plasmids are typically not essential for bacterial growth.[2] Plasmids provide an important additional dimension towards the flexibility of the body's response to changes in their environment, whether those changes are hostile or potentially favorable.[3]
