Bacterial plasmids are self-replicating, extrachromosomal elements associated with a variety of phenotypic traits including virulence, enhanced fitness, and resistance to antimicrobial agents. They pl
In order to better understand the ecology and diversity of microbes in the rhizosphere of desert plants we undertook a survey of bacillus species isolated soil around Rhazya stricta plants from the ar
