Prokaryotic plankton play a crucial role in marine biogeochemical processes, but their activities can vary significantly among different taxonomic groups. To capture the active part of the communities ...

In prokaryotes, DNA replication initiates at a single defined origin and proceeds bidirectionally via a multiprotein replisome that unwinds the duplex and synthesises new strands. Elongation is ...

DNA methylation is a biological process through which methyl groups are added to the DNA (genetic material). It is used as an epigenetic, i.e., a non-genetic strategy by prokaryotes to perform an ...
