The  cytoplasm also contains Plasmids. Plasmids are small circular pieces of  DNA that are separate from the genome and are capable of autonomous  replication. Several different plasmids can be within the cytoplasm of a  single bacteria. Plasmids

can be transferred between bacteria  during binary fission or through a process called conjugation. Plasmid  DNA codes for characteristics including antibiotic resistance and  endotoxin production.<br />
