The nucleoid (meaning nucleus-like) is an irregularly-shaped
region within the cell of a prokaryote that contains all or most of the genetic
material, called genophore. In contrast to the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, it
is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. The genome of prokaryotic organisms
generally is a circular, double-stranded piece of DNA, of which multiple copies
may exist at any time. The length of a genome widely varies, but generally is
at least a few million base pairs. As in all cellular organisms, length of the
DNA molecules of bacterial and archaeal chromosomes is very large compared to
the dimensions of the cell, and the genomic DNA molecules must be compacted to
fit.
Using a very special technology the bacterial cell core contain mainly DNA, but also some molecules of RNA, RNA polymerase, it can contains even some proteins.
