It may take several generations for plasmid-mg cells to lose ail plasmids Overaii, the<br />

plasmid copy number may demase du~g cuiture. The cells with lower copy number di<br />

show positive result in phnid detection but produce less glucoamyiase. Becapse <strong>of</strong> the<br />

above reasow, the enyme <strong>production</strong> may decay faster than the piasrnid-bearing ceii<br />

concentration.<br />

According to Equation (5.29). the probabïiity <strong>of</strong> plasmid 105s @) can ako be<br />

estirnated based on the tim-order decay constants <strong>of</strong> the enzyme <strong>production</strong> (%). Table<br />

5.3 shows that such calculated values <strong>of</strong> p are higher than the correspondhg estirnated<br />

values <strong>of</strong> p based on fim-order plasmid los constants (RI). This is because the former<br />

include both the segregational and stn~cmral instability, as dimissed in the iast section.<br />
