However, a circular chromosome can provide other challenges for cells.

Unlike linear molecules, circular chromosomes are able to replicate the entire molecule.

The genome for B. mallei is made up of two circular chromosomes.

Plasmids are additional circular chromosomes present in many bacteria.

They have circular chromosomes, with no nuclear membranes: They're all prokaryotes.

The large majority of prokaryotic genomes contain a single, circular chromosome.

The genome of A. borkumensis is a single circular chromosome that contains 3,120,143 base pairs.

P. freudenreichii has a circular chromosome about 2.5 Mb long.

Most bacteria have genomes in the form of a single circular chromosome.

Complete repair at some of these steps would reconstitute a circular chromosome, which will stay in the well.
