Answer:

Some bacteria are used as indicators because if they are present in the product, we can say that it is a product with the presence of pathogens that will cause diseases. Some of them are: total coliforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci.

To be a good indicator they must have a correlation with the pathogens and be more abundant than them. Its presence in a food indicates the possible presence simultaneous pathogen microorganisms. For example, E. coli has been used as Index of possible presence of pathogens of enteric origin in water and food

The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region of the cell called NUCLEOID.

However, some prokaryotes e.g. bacteria carry genes on extrachromosomal pieces of circular DNA called PLASMID. Plasmids carry certain genes like antibiotic resistance genes.
