How Bacteria Organize and Pack Their Genome into the Cell
Bacteria, lacking a nucleus, have a single, circular chromosome.
To organize their genome, they use a region called the nucleoid.
DNA supercoiling, facilitated by enzymes like DNA gyrase and topoisomerases, plays a key role in condensing the chromosome.
Binding proteins help in further organizing and compacting the genetic material.
The nucleoid region is where the bacterial chromosome is found within the cell.
