Bacterial DNA replication starts in only one point and is slow because of this but it’s ok because bacterial plasmids are small.

Explanation:

The DNA replication starts at a bubble between the 2 sides of the DNA strand and spreads both ways around the plasmid. This bubble is called the replisome. This creates 2 replication forks with leading and lagging strands and single stranded binding proteins and helicase and polymerase and ligase.
