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 ...

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms – they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi.

Until recently, the maturation of the 3′-end of tRNA precursors in Bacteria has been assumed to follow the E. coli paradigm, in which a cleavage event downstream of tRNAs is followed by exonucleolytic ...
