Planctomycetes Are Important for Theories of the Origin of Eukaryotes and Their Nuclei Why are planctomycetes important for understanding evolution of eukaryotes? There are two major types of ...
Though more primitive than eukaryotes, prokaryotic bacteria are the most diverse and abundant group of organisms on Earth. We humans are literally covered in prokaryotes, inside and out.
Eukaryotes, on the other hand, utilize the Kozak sequence to start translation. The Kozak sequence surrounds the start codon (AUG) and has a consensus sequence of (GCC)GCCRCCAUGG, where R ...
Scientists' yearlong study on Antarctic microbial communities reveals how climate change alters bacterial and phytoplankton ...
Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms – they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi.
Bacteria and other single-celled microorganisms in the seas around Antarctica are strongly influenced by water temperature ...
