This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive organelles, such as micro-compartments found in some bacteria, help organize cellular processes by concentrating ...

Although typanosomatids contain organelles and metabolic pathways that seem to be absent from prokaryotes and other eukaryotes, some of the organelles and metabolic routes first discovered in ...

The feature of the prokaryotic community in sediment has caught the attention of environmental microbiologists. Here we hypothesized that functional area could be a significant factor that shapes the ...

As endosymbiotic organelles evolved from their prokaryotic ancestors, unique factors are expected to be employed to control autophagy of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Our understanding of the ...
