Plasmid Segregation Systems

Plasmid Segregation Systems is a molecular mechanism in bacterial cells that actively partitions plasmid DNA into daughter cells during cell division to ensure stable inheritance, distinguished from passive diffusion by its reliance on specific protein-DNA interactions and cytoskeletal elements.
