The mechanisms by which plasmids are stably maintained in bacterial populations are not yet completely understood. However, it is apparent that interactions with the cell envelope, site-specific recombination and modulation of the host cell's division process may be involved in plasmid maintenance.
质粒在细菌群体中稳定维持的机制尚未完全明确。然而,很明显,与细胞膜的相互作用、位点特异性重组以及宿主细胞分裂过程的调控可能与质粒的维持有关。
