Archaea have a single cell membrane that absences a peptidoglycan wall and also their genetic transcription and translation‚ the two main processes in molecular biology do not show the typical bacterial features‚ but are quite similar to those of eukaryotes. Archaea are more related to eukaryotes‚ even though

This DNA is then incorporated into the host cell’s own DNA. This transformation usually occurs within plasmids‚ small circular DNA molecules separate from its chromosome. After the recipient cell is infected with the DNA‚ the cell will move on with replication‚ producing offspring with traits encoded by the plasmid. These plasmids

    The Role of Agarase in Agar-Degrading Bacteria Abstract Agar-Degrading (agarolytic) Bacteria is physiological class of bacteria capable of utilising agar as a sole carbon source. This ability is made available by the use of agarases - enzymes which break down agarose into oligosaccharides. This physiological class branches through genii‚ regardless of Gram Stain status or morphology. Through a review of scientific literature we can find identification methods‚ optimum conditions and the
