This study identifies two categories of extrachromosomal replicons in bacteria and shows that large replicons replicate in sync with the chromosome and use its replication machinery for stable inheritance.

This study shows that positioning RNAP-encoding genes near the replication origin in fast-growing bacteria is essential for optimal growth and gene dosage effects.

This study identifies genetic elements critical for pOXA-48 plasmid stability, replication, and conjugative transfer using transposon sequencing.

The paper shows V. cholerae MatP structures and delays segregation of both chromosomes independently of tetramer formation and divisome interaction.
