Planctomycetes May Yield New Insights into the Eukaryote-Like Cell Biology of a Bacterium Planctomycete cell structure differs from that of all other known prokaryotes. We are not sure yet whether ...

This closeness allows prokaryotic cells to rapidly respond to environmental change by quickly altering the types and amount of proteins they manufacture. Note that eukaryotic cells likely evolved ...

Protein synthesis refers to the process by which cells construct proteins. It's a fundamental cellular mechanism for all ...

Scientists propose that the eukaryotic branch of this family tree formed when two prokaryotes, an ancient bacterium and archaeal cell, merged, forming a symbiotic relationship maintained over time. 1 ...

The researchers wanted to know if the morphological similarity between eukaryotic and prokaryotic innate immune systems extended to their functionality, and also the molecular mechanisms through which ...

plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids.

An international collaboration between four senior scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published ...
