Vast numbers of different prokaryotic microorganisms shape the biosphere, with diverse metabolic capabilities. Determination of genome sequences for a wide range of bacteria and archaea now requires ...

A new method exposes key details of the mechanism behind calcium signaling in prokaryotes for the first time.

(A) Nucleoside triphosphates serve as a substrate for DNA polymerase, according to the mechanism shown on the top strand. Each nucleoside triphosphate is made up of three phosphates (represented ...

In contrast, the DNA of prokaryotic cells is distributed loosely around the cytoplasm, along with the protein synthesis machinery. This closeness allows prokaryotic cells to rapidly respond to ...

This study was led by Prof. Ming Li and Prof. Hua Xiang (Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Early bioinformatic analyses revealed that, in haloarchaeal genomes, the ago genes ...

The microbes that cycle nutrients in the ocean don't do the work on their own—the viruses that infect them also influence the ...

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

Researchers at Umeå University have revealed details on how bacteria use calcium to regulate vital processes in a way that ...

Reads thus obtained were processed (cleaned and assembled), following which infant-specific microbial community composition ...
