The nucleoid (meaning nucleus-like) is an irregularly shaped region within the prokaryotic cell that contains all or most of the genetic material. The...

possess a nucleus, and prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus but have a nucleoid region. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms such as bacteria, whereas...

prokaryote is held within a DNA/protein complex in the cytosol called the nucleoid, which lacks a nuclear envelope. The complex contains a single, cyclic...

'plastid nucleoids'. Unlike the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a plastid nucleoid is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. The region of each nucleoid may contain...

Histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein (H-NS), is one of twelve nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) whose main function is the organization of genetic...

chromosome equivalent is called a genophore and is localized within the nucleoid region). The overall structure of the chromatin network further depends...

nuclei. Instead, their DNA is organized into a structure called the nucleoid. The nucleoid is a distinct structure and occupies a defined region of the bacterial...

is held within an irregularly shaped body in the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. The genetic information in a genome is held within genes, and the complete...

between the membranes. The genome of the cell forms a loosely-defined "nucleoid", shown here in yellow, and interacts with many DNA-binding proteins, shown...

region of the nucleoid The ParA that was released from the nucleoid behind the plasmid's movement redistributes to other regions of the nucleoid after a delay...
