The Nuclear Structures of Protocaryotic Organisms (Bacteria and Cyanophyceae)

of energids per cell is assumed to equal the number of genetic complements as well as the number of viable cells that eventually may emerge from it without replication of its genetic material. (In eucaryotic cells, polyenergidy occurs in the form of cells containing several nuclei each or as polyploidy, referring to the co-existence of genollles within the boundaries of a single nucleus. Obviously terms such as "poly nucleated" and "polyploid" arc inappropriate for proaryotic cells.) The nu...
