Eukaryotic microorganisms, or protists, are essential ecological agents that populate various environments like aquatic and ...

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

Though more primitive than eukaryotes, prokaryotic bacteria are the most diverse and abundant group of organisms on Earth. We ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular and lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are generally smaller and simpler and include bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotes on the other hand are often ...

Using a new method to study how carbohydrates modify proteins, scientists have discovered that gut bacteria can alter molecular signatures in the brain.

Since the late 1980s, all life forms have been split into three groups on the phylogenetic tree of life: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes and archaea have long been considered “sister ...

Planctomycetes challenge our concept of the bacterial cell and of a prokaryote as a cell structure type, as well as our ideas about origins of the eukaryote nucleus. Planctomycetes Are Important ...

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms ... Genetic material DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm ...

Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar biologically (members of both groups consist of tiny cells without much internal structure) and different from eukaryotes. However, until ...

In the three-domain model, eukaryotes belong to a separate branch that shares a common ancestor with archaea. But phylogenetic analyses suggest that complex cells emerged from within the archaea. This ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created ... sustainable manufacturing processes that use eukaryotic bacteria more efficiently. While the concept of creating ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created ... genomes could eventually make sustainable manufacturing processes that use eukaryotic bacteria more efficiently. While the ...
