The F plasmid belongs to F-like plasmids, a class of conjugative plasmids that control sexual functions of bacteria with a fertility inhibition (Fin) system.

The F-plasmid is a member of a group of conjugative plasmids that use the fertility inhibition (Fin) system to regulate bacterial sexual behaviour. An antisense ...

F Plasmid is characterised by the presence of F or fertility factor. It is also called the sex factor, which helps transfer genetic materials from one bacterium ...

5 авг. 2020 г. · In commensal E. coli, F plasmids are the most common conjugal plasmids (13), and they were historically the first to be associated with ...

The F factor is a 100-kb conjugative plasmid. The tra operon encodes functions required for conjugative transfer of the F factor.

The F plasmid : is an example of a large plasmid, which contains genes that allow the plasmids. DNA to be transferred between cells.

The F factor is often associated with Escherichia coli and appears to have been adapted by the bacterial host to act as an agent of genetic exchange and ...

The F plasmid or F-factor is a large, 100-kbp, circular conjugative plasmid of Escherichia coli and was originally described as a vector for horizontal gene ...

Figure 1. The F factor. The F factor is a 100-kb conjugative plasmid. The tra operon encodes functions required for conjugative transfer of the F factor.

This plasmid, which is the best studied and therefore an excellent example of this interesting group of DNA molecules, will be the subject of this chapter.
