Prokaryotic – Eukaryotic Interactions | Microbiology
This article provides a brief overview of key points in cellular biology underlying prokaryotic-eukaryotic interactions. 1. Bacterial Ultra-Structure: Bacteria are the smallest organisms living independently. Their size, shape and dimension vary. 2. Pathogenicity Islands: Bacterial pathogenicity is governed by inter-species transfer of virulence factors contributed by plasmid and transposons. Pathogenicity is becoming apparent also. The interspersed elements (within the genomes [...]
