A potential cyanobacterial ancestor of Viridiplantae chloroplasts [PDF]
, 2011 The theory envisaging the origin of plastids from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria is well-established but it is difficult to explain the evolution (spread) of plastids in phylogenetically diverse plant groups.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

How Mitochondrial Signaling Games May Shape and Stabilize the Nuclear-Mitochondrial Symbiosis
BiologyThe eukaryotic lineage has enjoyed a long-term “stable” mutualism between nucleus and mitochondrion, since mitochondrial endosymbiosis began about 2 billion years ago.

Biological invasions and endosymbiosis in Arthropods, a case study:Bemisia tabaci : S1403TH01 Invasive Species and Quarantine [PDF]
, 2012 Biological invasions are more and more frequent worldwide and understanding this process is a big issue. Invasive success depends on several traits permitting local adaptation.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The evolutionary origin of red algae‐derived complex plastids remains obscure. Cryptophyta, one of four eukaryotic lineages harboring these plastids, still contains nucleomorphs, which are highly reduced remnants of red algal nuclei. The genes present on nucleomorph genomes can be used for phylogenomic reconstruction in order to unravel the ...

Nutrient Deficiency Promotes the Entry of Helicobacter pylori Cells into Candida Yeast Cells
Biology, 2021 Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative bacterium, has as a natural niche the human gastric epithelium. This pathogen has been reported to enter into Candida yeast cells; however, factors triggering this endosymbiotic relationship remain unknown. The aim of

Analysis of horizontal genetic transfer in red algae in the post-genomics age [PDF]
, 2013 The recently published genome of the unicellular red alga revealed a gene-rich, intron-poor species, which is surprising for a free-living mesophile. Of the 8,355 predicted protein-coding regions, up to 773 (9.3%) were implicated in horizontal genetic ...

Beyond red/far‐red sensing: phytochrome perception of the marine light field by microalgae
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Phytochromes (PHYs) are a major group of photoreceptors, described as red and far‐red light sensors in land plants. Recent genomic and metagenomic explorations have revealed the presence of PHYs also in various eukaryotic microalgae originating from distinct endosymbiotic events.

Perspectives on Endosymbiosis in Coralloid Roots: Association of Cycads and Cyanobacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Past endosymbiotic events allowed photosynthetic organisms to flourish and evolve in terrestrial areas. The precursor of chloroplasts was an ancient photosynthetic cyanobacterium.

A Specific Sinorhizobium Flagellin Suppresses Legume Nodulation Through Immune Activation
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bacterial flagellin‐activated immunity plays a crucial role in shaping plant‐microbe interactions, leading to either parasitism, mutualism, or commensalism. In the legume‐rhizobium symbiosis, while it has been hypothesized that rhizobial infection involves avoidance of plant immunity following flagellin perception, direct evidence supporting ...
