About this book

Megaplasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements in the size range of 100 kb and larger. They are found in physiologically and phylogenetically diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. By definition, megaplasmids are not essential for the viability of their hosts under all growth conditions, but, paradoxically many megaplasmids carry the genetic information for the defining and characteristic traits of the organism in which they reside.

This volume reviews our knowledge of the extensively studied representatives, such as the catabolic plasmids of the pseudomonads, the rhizobial Sym plasmids, the Ti plasmids of the genus Agrobacterium and the giant enterobacterial virulence plasmids. It also presents snapshots of more recently discovered megaplasmids. The contribution of megaplasmids to the biology of their hosts is described, highlighting the interactions between megaplasmid and chromosomal genes.

Contents

From the contents Megaplasmids in Archaea; Megaplasmids and Biodegradation; Megaplasmids in Plant Symbionts and Pathogens; Megaplasmids in Human Pathogens; Megaplasmids and Special Metabolic Functions.
