The Role of Plasmids in Marine Sediment Bacterial Communities.
1997
Helinski, Donald R. | Sobecky, Patricia A.
To investigate the role of plasmids in determining the structure and functions of marine sediment microbial communities. To use molecular approaches, in addition to classic microbial ecology methods, to determine the distribution and characteristics of naturally occurring plasmids within bacterial populations focusing on assessing the potential for transfer of plasmid- encoded genes within the indigenous microbial community present in marine sediments.
