Description
Cutaway image of a generalised bacterial cell showing both Gram +ve and Gram -ve surface regions. The amorphous brown object in the middle is the nucleoid containing the DNA. In prokaryotes like bacteria, the DNA is not separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane. Several flagella are also shown. These can propel bacteria along.
