Replaced blower fan resistor today without removing dash. Dealer wanted 10 hours labor to replace resistor. Took me two hours, next one could do in hour. 4 of 5 fan screws you can get to without problems. For 5th screw which requires removal of dash, I just pulled fan down and mount broke right off.
1 Answer 1. If I understand the nomenclature correctly, an R plasmid is just any plasmid containing an antibiotic (R)esistance gene (eg. Amp, Kan, Cm, etc.). It's a bit of an outdated name from when people didn't know how exactly the plasmids conferred such resistance.
A plasmid is a strand or loop of DNA that is typically found in bacteria as well as archae (single-cell organisms) and eukarya (organisms of complex cell structure). Plasmids carry only a few genes and exist independently of chromosomes, the primary structures that contain DNA in cells. Able to self-replicate, plasmids can be picked up from the environment and transferred between bacteria. Plasmids are used by their host organism to cope with stress-related conditions. Many plasmids, for example, carry genes that code for the production of enzymes to inactivate antibiotics or poisons. Others contain genes that help a host organism digest unusual substances or kill other types of bacteria. Several characteristics of plasmids make them easy to modify genetically.
