Discovery of novel replication proteins for large plasmids in cyanobacteria and their potential applications in genetic engineering

Numerous cyanobacteria capable of oxygenic photosynthesis possess multiple large plasmids exceeding 100 kbp in size. These plasmids are believed to have distinct replication and distribution mechanisms, as they coexist within cells without causing incompatibilities between plasmids. However, informa...
