Plasmids - genes essential for growth and metabolism

This is an inaccurate statement regarding plasmids, which are accessory (additional) circular pieces of a bacterium's DNA, usually carrying resistance factors and such, which can be shared with other bacteria via sex pili during conjugation. Essential genes for life are found in the cell's nucleoid, which is its main chromosome of genetic material.
