Evidence for an early prokaryotic endosymbiosis
Nature, 2009Endosymbioses have dramatically altered eukaryotic life, but are thought to have negligibly affected prokaryotic evolution. Here, by analysing the flows of protein families, I present evidence that the double-membrane, gram-negative prokaryotes were formed as the result of a symbiosis between an ancient actinobacterium and an ancient clostridium.

Endosymbiosis: past and present
Heredity, 2005D iscoveries reported in PLoS Biology have opened up a promising new front in the battle against the human suffering caused by parasitic nematodes. Foster and colleagues (2005) have completed the genome sequence of a bacterium, Wolbachia sp., found in a nematode that infects humans and causes elephantiasis.

Endosymbiosis in marine cnidarians
1992Abstract Endosymbiotic relationships with either prokaryote or algal symbionts are found in the marine benthos, in members of the Protozoa, Porifera, Cnidaria, Turbellaria, and Mollusca. This review will concentrate upon the most widespread association, that of the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium microadriaticum (zooxanthellae) and its ...
