Can anyone tell me if staph aureus and rhodobacter are diploid or haploid?

I believe all bacteria are haploid in terms of allele content.
However, in rich medium, some bacteria are replicating very rapidly, and so the chromosome will appear to be at multiple copies near the origin of replication. I think this can be seen in sequencing depth plots, but can't remember where I saw it (unless it was in original Church sequencing-by-ligation paper) -
Yeah, I don't see why bacteria wouldn't be haploid.
But that doesn't mean that every sample given to you is clonal.Comment

Yes, theoretically, one chromosome copy per cell for (most) bacteria. But, as pointed out above, it doesn't always work that way.Comment

If you sequence with a large cover and a huge deepth, you'll be able to see different clones.
That does not mean that your bacteria is polyploid.To infinity ... and behond !!!Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
