plasmid | plasmoid |
(cytology) A loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria]], but also in archaeans and [[eukaryote, eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer.

As nouns the difference between plasmid and plasmoid
is that plasmid is a loop of double-stranded DNA that is separate from and replicates independently of the chromosomes, most commonly found in bacteria, but also in archaeans and eukaryotic cells, and used in genetic engineering as a vector for gene transfer while plasmoid is a region of plasma held relatively stable within a magnetic field.plasmid

- This is how the F (for "fertility") plasmid , which forms the basis of a lot of classical E. coli genetics, is transferred from one cell to another.
- Bacteria are happy to absorb little rings of DNA called plasmids and adopt them as their own.
