You could imagine strategies where you have multiple resistance genes on a plasmid, resistance to Ampicillin, to Penicillin, to Erythromycin for example, and you design strategies for separating out which cells are carrying the plasmid that you're interested in.

若质粒上有多种抗性基因,你就有很多筛选方法,例如对氨苄青霉素,青霉素,红霉素的抗性,而且你可以设计方法分离出,含有你感兴趣质粒的细胞
