The Role for the Small Cryptic Plasmids As Moldable Vectors for Genetic Innovation in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida

In Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, a bacterium that causes fish disease, there are two types of small plasmids (<15 kbp): plasmids without known function, called cryptic plasmids, and plasmids that bear beneficial genes for the bacterium. Four among them are frequently detected in s...
