Se rapporte aux épisomes, ces éléments de l'appareil génétique de la bactérie qui peuvent se séparer relativement facilement du chromosome pour émigrer dans le cytoplasme. Les prophages et les facteurs transmissibles de la résistance aux antibiotiques (R.T.F. = resistance transmissible factors) sont les plus connus des épisomes. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pisomique
