Sentences with phrase «bacteria cell metabolism»

Not exact matches

To find out why, computational biologists came up with a computer model to predict how microbial metabolism and cellular composition change as cell size varies, using details about how much space a bacterium needs for its components — DNA, proteins, and the molecular factories called ribosomes — to function.

Although the majority of genes related to energy production, cell division, and metabolism in M. jannaschii are most similar to those found in Bacteria, most of the genes involved in transcription, translation, and replication in M. jannaschii are more similar to those found in Eukaryotes.

For example, when there is no oxygen (a likely scenario in underground disposal vaults) to help these bacteria «breath» and break down the ISA, these simple single - cell microorganisms are able to switch their metabolism to breath using other chemicals in the water, such as nitrate or iron.

The structure of this complex, determined using cryo - electron microscopy, shows how it converts near - infrared light into an electrical charge in order to power cell metabolism, which enables this bacterium to live at the extreme red limit of photosynthesis on Earth.

At the same time, other switches get flipped throughout the body, modifying everything from metabolism to cell growth, via other cytokines, such as IL - 6 and tumor necrosis factor — a, and things like CRP, which mark bacteria for destruction.

«Bacteria responsible for legionellosis modulates the host cell metabolism to its advantage.»

Jonathan Schertzer, assistant professor of biochemistry and biomedical sciences and senior author of a paper published by Cell Metabolism, explains it this way: «We know that gut bacteria, often called the microbiome, send inflammation signals that change how well insulin works to lower blood glucose.

It has long been argued that mitochondria, the tiny organelles that handle the energy metabolism of eukaryotic cells, were once free - living bacteria that were enslaved by an early eukaryote.

Several functions vary among the members of this group of bacteria, such as metabolism of nitrogen, respiration, cell wall and capsule, stress response, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, regulation and cell signaling; this variation in gene functions could help us understand the ability of colonization and adaptability of these rhizosphere - colonizing bacteria.
