However, some bacteria have protein-bound organelles in the cytoplasm which compartmentalise aspects of bacterial metabolism, [59] [60] such as the carboxysome. [61] Additionally, bacteria have a multi-component cytoskeleton to control the localisation of proteins and nucleic acids within the cell, and to manage the process of cell division ...
Phytic acid is an antioxidant found in plant cells that most likely serves the purpose of preservation.
