Two local beaches on the river side of Plum Island were open for business again Thursday after additional testing showed that ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound structures. This article details the structure of prokaryotic cells and provides examples of prokaryotic organisms.

Since the 2000s, scientists who study prokaryotes in environments all over the world have used environmental genomics techniques to sample and study them, and hundreds of thousands of genome sequences ...

The Northern Adriatic Sea is a key area of the Mediterranean Sea, strongly affected by freshwater inputs, mainly from the Po River, which bring high amounts of nutrients as well as organic and ...

If so, by the time the ancient host engulfed the precursor of mitochondria, it would have already possessed many eukaryotic features, perhaps including some organelles, the internal compartments ...

For example, the poliovirus uses the differences in ribosomes to seek out and attach to ribosomes in eukaryotic cells, affecting their ability to translate messenger RNA into proteins.

A microbe found in the muddy depths of the Pacific Ocean doesn't look like much other than a blob with tentacles. But this unassuming little organism may hold the secrets to how the first ...

The microbe was collected from deep sea sediments A single-celled organism found off the coast of Japan could offer us a glimpse of one of our most distant ancestors. The microbe may explain one ...

Although conceptually similar, prokaryotic segregation systems and the eukaryotic kinetochore are not homologous. Here we investigate the origins of the kinetochore before the last eukaryotic common ...

Freshwater systems are characterized by an enormous diversity of eukaryotic protists and prokaryotic taxa. The community structures in different lakes are thereby influenced by factors such as habitat ...
