1938Biol. Abstr. XII. 1407/2 The author's [sc. G. Piekarski's] studies seem to show that the nucleoids which he observed in bacteria and sarcina are equivalent to cell nuclei. 1965Bacteriol. Rev. XXIX. 277/1 The genetic material in bacterial cells forms structures which are called nucleoids... Although from the very beginning there was no doubt that these structures are nuclei with respect to their function.., their simple architecture and morphological appearance, which distinguish them from the type of nucleus present in higher organisms..make a special term desirable. 1970Nature 31 Oct. 410/2 The RNA dependent activity resides in the nucleoid. 1971Ibid. 30 Apr. 568 (caption) Cell from culture of B[acillus] subtilis...
