Plesiomonas shigelloides, an Atypical Enterobacterales with a Vibrio-Related Secondary Chromosome.

ABSTRACT: About 10% of bacteria have a multichromosome genome with a primary replicon of bacterial origin, called the chromosome, and other replicons of plasmid origin, the chromids. Studies on multichromosome bacteria revealed potential points of coordination between the replication/segregation of chromids and the progression of the cell cycle. For example, replication of the chromid of Vibrionales (called Chr2) is initiated upon duplication of a sequence carried by the primary chromosome (called Chr1), in such a way that replication of both replicons is completed synchronously. Also, Chr2 uses the Chr1 as a scaffold for its partition in the daughter cells. How many of the features detected so far are required for the proper integration of a secondary chromosome in the cell cycle? How many more fea
