Identification of Mystery Plasmids Abstract Plasmids serve as important tools in genetics and biotechnology labs‚ where they are commonly used make many copies of a particular gene. The aim of this experiment was to identify three mystery plasmids based upon their characteristics; such as size‚ antibiotic resistance‚ lacZ profile and conjugative properties. The results obtained showed that plasmid number2 was the pDSK519 plasmid and its size was 26229.58 Bp. Plasmid pDSK519 also was found to be
