Difficult phylogenetic questions: more data, maybe; better methods, certainly
BMC Biology, 2011 Contradicting the prejudice that endosymbiosis is a rare phenomenon, Husník and co-workers show in BMC Biology that bacterial endosymbiosis has occured several times independently during insect evolution.

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Introduction: The ζ subunit is a potent inhibitor of the F1FO-ATPase of Paracoccus denitrificans (PdF1FO-ATPase) and related α-proteobacteria different from the other two canonical inhibitors of bacterial (ε) and mitochondrial (IF1) F1FO-ATPases.

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

Scientific Reports, 2017 Lipid bodies (LBs) in the coral gastrodermal tissues are key organelles in the regulation of endosymbiosis and exhibit a diel rhythmicity. Using the scleractinian Euphyllia glabrescens collected across the diel cycle, we observed temporally dynamic lipid

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 ...

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 ...

Endosymbiosis in protozoa of the Trypanosomatidae family [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1999 A small number of trypanosomatids present bacterium endosymbionts in the cytoplasm, which divide synchronously with the host cell. Crithidia oncopleti, Crithidia deanei. Crithidia desouzai, Blastocrithidia culicis and Herpetomonas roitmani are the best characterized species.

Phylogenomic analysis of "red" genes from two divergent species of the "green" secondary phototrophs, the chlorarachniophytes, suggests multiple horizontal gene transfers from the red lineage before the divergence of extant chlorarachniophytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The plastids of chlorarachniophytes were derived from an ancestral green alga via secondary endosymbiosis. Thus, genes from the "green" lineage via secondary endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) are expected in the nuclear genomes of the Chlorarachniophyta.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Algal symbionts of corals can influence host stress resistance; for example, in the Pacific Ocean, whereas Cladocopium (C-type) is generally dominant in corals, Durusdinium (D-type) is found in more heat-resistant corals.
