Bacterial cells close bacterial cell A microscopic individual cell of a bacterium. have a more simple structure compared to animal, plant and fungal cells and are usually much smaller.

Many organisms – ranging from single-cell protists to humans – rely on microscopic hair-like structures to perform a wide range of cell signaling and motility-related tasks. 1 Flagella, cilia and pili ...

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 ...

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria ...

Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology and the University of Otago have resolved the full ...

A new function-based sequencing technique using optical tweezers and taking advantage of the properties of gravity is letting researchers analyze bacteria cells one by one. The study, conducted by ...
