The relativity of Darwinian populations and the ecology of endosymbiosis [PDF]

open access: yesBiology & Philosophy, 2016
If there is a single discipline of science calling the basic concepts of biology into question, it is without doubt microbiology. Indeed, developments in microbiology have recently forced us to rethink such fundamental concepts as the organism, individual, and genome.

The plastid outer envelope – a highly dynamic interface between plastid and cytoplasm

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2011
Plastids are the defining organelles of all photosynthetic eukaryotes. They are the site of photosynthesis and of a large number of other essential metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid and amino acid biosyntheses, sulfur and nitrogen assimilation, and ...

Evolutionary History of Plant LysM Receptor Proteins Related to Root Endosymbiosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
LysM receptor-like kinases (LysM-RLKs), which are specific to plants, can control establishment of both the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and the rhizobium-legume (RL) symbioses in response to signal molecules produced, respectively, by the fungal and ...

Engineering archaeal membrane‐spanning lipid GDGT biosynthesis in bacteria: Implications for early life membrane transformations

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 193-204, April 2025.
Abstract Eukaryotes are hypothesized to be archaeal–bacterial chimeras. Given the different chemical structures of membrane phospholipids in archaea and bacteria, transformations of membranes during eukaryogenesis that led to the bacterial‐type membranes of eukaryotic cells remain a major conundrum.

Evidence for maternal transmission fo a putative endosymbiont in the digestive gland of Pomacea canaliculata (Architaenioglossa, Ampullariidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The digestive gland of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata lodges two types of pigmented corpuscles (identified as C and K corpuscles) which has been proposed as endosymbiont/s.

Regulatory and retrograde signaling networks in the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 887-911, April 2025.
This review summarizes the regulatory mechanisms that underlie chlorophyll synthesis, including (1) factors that control the activity and stability of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis enzymes, (2) transcriptional and post‐translational regulation of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway, and (3) the complex roles of tetrapyrrole‐mediated retrograde signaling ...

Environmental interactions with amoebae as drivers of bacterial-fungal endosymbiosis and pathogenicity

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Opportunistic infections by environmental fungi are a growing clinical problem, driven by an increasing population of people with immunocompromising conditions.

Animal emergence during Snowball Earths by thermosynthesis in submarine hydrothermal vents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Darwin already commented on the lateness in the fossil record of the emergence of the animals, calling it a valid argument against his theory of evolution^1^.

In Vitro Culture of the Insect Endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii Highlights Bacterial Genes Involved in Host-Symbiont Interaction

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Endosymbiotic bacteria associated with eukaryotic hosts are omnipresent in nature, particularly in insects. Studying the bacterial side of host-symbiont interactions is, however, often limited by the unculturability and genetic intractability of the ...

The Evolution of Cell Communication: The Road not Taken. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the post-genomic era the complex problem of evolutionary biology can be tackled from the top-down, the bottom-up, or from the middle-out. Given the emergent and contingent nature of this process, we have chosen to take the latter approach, both as a ...
