Comments.Text: Yes, bacteria and sometimes both archea and eukaryotes can have plasmids (google the term if you don't know it) in addition to their normal genome.

Title: What does this genome file from NCBI means?
ThreadText: # What does this genome file from NCBI means?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-04-03)
  
  I obtained a genome from NCBI. For instance, Haloquadratum walsbyi strain AM180088.1. But the FASTA file contain two parts. The first part marked as
  
  **>AM180088.1 Haloquadratum walsbyi DSM 16790 complete genome**
  
  The second part marked as
  
  **>AM180089.1 Haloquadratum walsbyi DSM 16790 plasmid PL47 complete genome**
  
  What does that mean? In particular, the second one "plasmid"? If it is called complete genome should it all in one? Why divide into parts?
