Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes âDifferences. Eukaryotes as well as protists, a miscellany group made up of eukaryote-like plant, animal and fungi missing one or more characteristics to be defined as purely eukaryotic, differ greatly from prokaryotes in structure.
It is now clear that prokaryotic cells possess actin and that a dynamic actin-like cytoskeleton is involved in a variety of essential cellular processes in bacteria. These functions, like those of the eukaryotic actin cytoskeleton, require the targeting and accurate positioning of proteins and molecular complexes.he discovery of the prokaryotic homologues of actin (as well as of other cytoskeletal elements in bacteria) has forced a radical rethink about the origin of the cytoskeleton and revolutionized our view of bacterial cell architecture.
Actinomycosis is primarily caused by any of several members of the bacterial genus Actinomyces. These bacteria are generally anaerobes. In animals, they normally live in the small spaces between the teeth and gums, causing infection only when they can multiply freely in anoxic environments.ctinomyces bacteria are generally sensitive to penicillin, which is frequently used to treat actinomycosis. In cases of penicillin allergy, doxycyclin is used. Sulfonamides such as sulfamethoxazole may be used as an alternative regimen at a total daily dosage of 2-4 grams.
