Structure of Cyanobacteria (With Diagram) | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the structure of cyanobacteria. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of cyanobacteria. 1. A gelatinous sheath, made up of homogeneous surface, is present in all the Cyanobacteria. It may be thin (e.g., Anacystismontana) or thick and well developed (e.g., Anabaena). The mucilaginous sheath is made up of many [...]

Supercoiling of Bacterial DNA | Microbiology

In this article we will discuss about the supercoiling of bacterial DNA. DNA molecules exist in two states, relaxed and supercoiled. A relaxed state of DNA molecule is one in which the exact number of turns of the helix can be predicted by calculating the number of base pairs, whereas when the relaxed DNA molecules is highly twisted to accommodate [...]
