Endosymbiosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2012
SummaryThe phenomenon of endosymbiosis, or one organism living within another, has deeply impacted the evolution of life and continues to shape the ecology of countless species.

Endosymbiosis or Bust: Influence of Ectosymbiosis on Evolution of Obligate Endosymbiosis

open access: yesThe 2022 Conference on Artificial Life, 2022
Endosymbiosis, symbiosis in which one symbiont lives inside another, is woven throughout the history of life and the story of its evolution. From the mitochondrion residing in almost every eukaryotic cell to the gut microbiome found in every human ...

Primary endosymbiosis: have cyanobacteria and Chlamydiae ever been roommates? [PDF]

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Eukaryotes acquired the ability to process photosynthesis by engulfing a cyanobacterium and transforming it into a genuine organelle called the plastid. This event, named primary endosymbiosis, occurred once more than a billion years ago, and allowed the

Endosymbiosis as a source of immune innovation

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Biologies, 2017
National audienceSome years ago, Lynn Margulis proposed to envision symbiosis as a source of evolutionary innovation. Here we revisit this concept in the context of insect nutritional endosymbiosis, and discuss recent data suggesting that host ...

GroEL and the maintenance of bacterial endosymbiosis [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Genetics, 2004
Many eukaryotic organisms have symbiotic associations with obligate intracellular bacteria. The clonal transmission of endosymbionts between host generations should lead to the irreversible fixation of slightly deleterious mutations in their non ...

Endosymbiosis and Eukaryotic Cell Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2015
Understanding the evolution of eukaryotic cellular complexity is one of the grand challenges of modern biology. It has now been firmly established that mitochondria and plastids, the classical membrane-bound organelles of eukaryotic cells, evolved from ...

Emergent RNA–RNA interactions can promote stability in a facultative phototrophic endosymbiosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Eukaryote–eukaryote endosymbiosis was responsible for the spread of chloroplast (plastid) organelles. Stability is required for the metabolic and genetic integration that drives the establishment of new organelles, yet the mechanisms that act to ...

Tightly Constrained Genome Reduction and Relaxation of Purifying Selection during Secondary Plastid Endosymbiosis

open access: yes, 2022
Endosymbiosis, the establishment of a former free-living prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell as an organelle inside a host cell, can dramatically alter the genomic architecture of the endosymbiont.

Genome dynamics across the evolutionary transition to endosymbiosis. [PDF]

open access: yes
Endosymbiosis-where a microbe lives and replicates within a host-is an important contributor to organismal function that has accelerated evolutionary innovations and catalyzed the evolution of complex life.
