Minimal Cell Blueprint More Complex Than Expected, Say Scientists
The new model was created by a consortium of experts, based at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), in Heidelberg, Germany, and the Centre de Regulacio Genomica (CRG), in Barcelona, Spain.
The group has been fascinated with questions about early life for quite some time and decided to investigate the matter in more depth.
They did so through three studies, which they published in the latest issue of the top journal Science.
Their research was based on Mycoplasma pneumoniae, the bacteria that causes atypical pneumonia.
The new line of work has already revealed a number of new things about the biology of the simple microorganisms that are bacteria, and proved that even the most seemingly simple cell is in fact much more complex than anyone would have thought.
M. pneumoniae was selected as the main subject of the new investigation because it is a very small, single-cell bacteria and because it's one of the smaller prokaryotes out there today.
