REVIEW. Prokaryotic cells: structural organisation of the cytoskeleton and organelles. Wanderley de SouzaI, II, III, + I Laboratório de Ultraestrutura Celular Hertha Meyer, Instituto de Biofísica ...

Genomic DNA is organized differently in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The bacterium Escherichia coli contains a single circular chromosome and replication is initiated bi‐directionally from a ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Nonthermal atmospheric-pressure plasmas provide new hope for medical application due to their potency in killing microorganisms. However, effectiveness and safety need evaluation. Here, the ...

Our knowledge about the physiological role of the various proteases located in the prokaryotic cell envelope has improved in recent years, as has our understanding of their structure and function.

Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the mitochondria, are found in a more recently evolved type of cell called eukaryotes. Plants and animals are made of eukaryotic cells, which are ...

They've dubbed the newfound cell part the "nitroplast." And according to two recent studies, the researchers think it likely evolved 100 million years ago.

In two recent papers, an international team led by UC Santa Cruz scientists describe the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle within a eukaryotic cell. The organelle is the fourth example in history ...

Cells found in nature can be classified into two groups based on their structural characteristics: prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The most significant difference between these two groups lies in ...

Prokaryotic cells are like single-room efficiency apartments while eukaryotic cells are like mansions with many rooms — and they are the only two kinds of cells in the world.
