Surface Coatings Modulate the Differences in the Adhesion Forces of Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Cells as Detected by Single Cell Force Microscopy [PDF]
International Journal of Biomaterials, 2019 Single cell force microscopy was used to investigate the maximum detachment force (MDF) of primary neuronal mouse cells (PNCs), osteoblastic cells (MC3T3), and prokaryotic cells (Staphylococcus capitis subsp.

Small and Smaller—sRNAs and MicroRNAs in the Regulation of Toxin Gene Expression in Prokaryotic Cells: A Mini-Review [PDF]
Toxins, 2017 Non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) have been identified in the wide range of bacteria (also pathogenic species) and found to play an important role in the regulation of many processes, including toxin gene expression.

Prokaryotic cells: structural organisation of the cytoskeleton and organelles [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012 For many years, prokaryotic cells were distinguished from eukaryotic cells based on the simplicity of their cytoplasm, in which the presence of organelles and cytoskeletal structures had not been discovered.

Electron Tomography of Ice-Embedded Prokaryotic Cells [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1998 Whole cells of archaea were embedded in vitreous ice by plunge freezing and investigated by automated energy-filtered electron tomography at 120 kV. The embedded cells were between 300 and 750 nm thick, and their structures were reconstructed to a resolution of 20-40 nm from tilt series comprising 50-140 images.

Themes and variations in prokaryotic cell division [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2000 Perhaps the biggest single task facing a bacterial cell is to divide into daughter cells that contain the normal complement of chromosomes. Recent technical and conceptual breakthroughs in bacterial cell biology, combined with the flood of genome sequence information and the excellent genetic tools in several model systems, have shed new light on the ...

A novel mechanism for direct real-time polymerase chain reaction that does not require DNA isolation from prokaryotic cells. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Typically, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is performed after DNA isolation. Real-time PCR (qPCR), also known as direct qPCR in mammalian cells with weak membranes, is a common technique using crude samples subjected to preliminary boiling to elute DNA ...
