tRNA functional signatures classify plastids as late-branching cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundEukaryotes acquired the trait of oxygenic photosynthesis through endosymbiosis of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastid organelles. Despite recent advances in the phylogenomics of Cyanobacteria, the phylogenetic root of plastids remains ...

The Microbiome Within a Microbe: Rethinking Blastocystis Biology. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT Blastocystis spp., one of the most prevalent microeukaryotes in the human gut, has long puzzled researchers with its ambiguous role in health and disease. Decades‐old microscopy studies reported bacterial‐ and viral‐like particles within Blastocystis spp. cells, but these findings have been mainly overlooked.

Engineering Mycorrhizal Symbioses to Alter Plant Metabolism and Improve Crop Health
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Creating sustainable bioeconomies for the 21st century relies on optimizing the use of biological resources to improve agricultural productivity and create new products. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (phylum Glomeromycota) form symbiotic relationships with over

Organellar Evolution: A Path from Benefit to Dependence
Microorganisms, 2022 Eukaryotic organelles supposedly evolved from their bacterial ancestors because of their benefits to host cells. However, organelles are quite often retained, even when the beneficial metabolic pathway is lost, due to something other than the original ...

Protein import into the endosymbiotic organelles of apicomplexan parasites [PDF]
, 2018 The organelles of endosymbiotic origin, plastids, and mitochondria, evolved through the serial acquisition of endosymbionts by a host cell. These events were accompanied by gene transfer from the symbionts to the host, resulting in most of the organellar

Wolbachia injection from usual to naive host in Drosophila simulans (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Wolbachia pipientis (Hertig) (Rickettsiaceae) is an endocellular bacterium infecting numerous species of arthropods. The bacterium is harboured by males and females but is only transmitted maternally because spermatocytes shed their Wolbachia during ...
