Transposons unique to these organisms include Tn elements. Their reproduction is mediated by FtsZ. Drugs aimed at these organisms usually exploit selective toxicity to target their ribosomes or cell walls. Some of them produce temporary dormant, extremely resistant structures called endospores, and the (*) F-plasmid allows them to exchange genetic material. They can take up DNA via transformation, and they reproduce asexually via binary fission. They are divided into two basic types by the Gram stain, which tests their cell walls for peptidogly

The causative agents of cholera and strep throat, for 10 points, name this domain of prokaryotic organisms contrasted with Eukarya and Archaea.
