What is the difference between a eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell? What is the difference between an eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell? Prokaryotic cells have what kind of nucleus compared to eukaryotic cells? What is the difference between a eukaryotic and a pro...
Another example of a meta-narrative is that of the Ruler and the Compromised Couple, which runs from Pharaoh and Abram & Sarai to Abimelech and Abraham & Sarah to Abimelech and Isaac & Rebekah (and see our article on the noun γαμος, gamos, marriage, for a closer look at this...
What are the different types of bacteria? What is the term for a severe type of food poisoning caused by anaerobic bacteria? What is a microorganism, and a pathogen? Give an example of one pathogen. Fill in the blank. A living organism or virus that invades the body and causes the dise...
As an example for non-glycosylated S-layer proteins those of Lactobacillus helveticus strains are described in detail. Recently, a novel type of bacterial glycoconjugate was observed in the cell envelope of the extremely halophilic archaeon Natronococcus occultus which consists of a glycosylated poly...
These organisms are now considered prokaryotic in nature--a special type of bacteria. They are known to have both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), have a cell wall that stains negatively on Gram stain, divide by binary fission, and be susceptible to antibiotics...
infection and to pathogen-derived toxic compounds.S. aureus, for example, can produce molecules able to counteract neutrophil’s action, i.e. preventing the adhesion to the blood vessels and their transmigration into the site of infection or eliciting cell death [28]....
In some bacterial species, the chromosome origins have been identified as molecular markers of cell polarity and polar chromosome anchoring factors have been identified, for example in Caulobacter crescentus. Although speculated, polar chromosome tethering factors have not been identified for Actinobacteria,...
