"In bacteria, nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) function similarly to histones, which are the DNA-organizing proteins found in eukaryotic cells. In archaea, the nucleoid is organized by either NAPs or histone-like DNA-organizing proteins. The nucleoid region is a condensed area of DNA found within prokaryotic cells. Because of its density, it does not readily stain and appears lighter in color when viewed with a transmission electron microscope."
