New techniques for isolation of single prokaryotic cells [PDF]
Since the 1960s, several new attempts have been made to improve the management of single prokaryotic cells using micromanipulator techniques. In order to facilitate the isolation of pure cultures we have recently developed an improved micromanipulation ...

FtsZ and the division of prokaryotic cells and organelles [PDF]
Binary fission of many prokaryotes as well as some eukaryotic organelles depends on the FtsZ protein, which self-assembles into a membrane-associated ring structure early in the division process. FtsZ is homologous to tubulin, the building block of the microtubule cytoskeleton in eukaryotes.

Pathogenicity mechanisms of prokaryotic cells: an evolutionary view [PDF]
The success of pathogenic microbes depends on their ability to colonize host tissues and to counter host defense mechanisms. Microorganisms can produce overwhelming infection because of their relatively short generation times, and because they have ...

Flow cytometric detection of specific gene expression in prokaryotic cells using in situ RT-PCR [PDF]
Prokaryotic in situ RT-PCR was coupled with flow cytometry to detect mRNA transcripts of the toluene dioxygenase (todC1) gene in intact cells of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida F1. Recovery efficiency of fixed cells over the course of the entire in situ

The pressure relationships of halophilic and non-halophilic prokaryotic cells determined by using gas vesicles as pressure probes [PDF]
Gas vesicles can be used to measure the hydrostatic pressure (turgor pressure) in prokaryotic cells. Halophilic cyanobacteria have turgor pressures that are substantially less than those of cyanobacteria from fresh water.

A dual expression plasmid with Microcin B17 compatible with both prokaryotic and mammalian systems [PDF]
Proteic plasmid addiction systems, such as the control of cell death (Ccd), have been used for efficient plasmid DNA recombination. The CcdB toxin, which has a relatively long sequence of 309 bp, has been the predominant choice for this purpose. However,

Trp31 Residue of Trx-1 Is Essential for Maintaining Antioxidant Activity and Cellular Redox Defense Against Oxidative Stress [PDF]
Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is an important redox protein found in almost all prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, which has a highly conserved active site sequence: Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys.
