Independent phylogenetic origins of methanotrophic and chemoautotrophic bacterial endosymbioses in marine bivalves.
The discovery of bacterium-bivalve symbioses capable of utilizing methane as a carbon and energy source indicates that the endosymbionts of hydrothermal vent and cold seep bivalves are not restricted to sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacteria but also include methanotrophic bacteria. The phylogenetic origin of methanotrophic endosymbionts and their relationship to known symbiotic and free-li...
متن کاملThe evolution of photosynthesis in chromist algae through serial endosymbioses
Chromist algae include diverse photosynthetic organisms of great ecological and social importance. Despite vigorous research efforts, a clear understanding of how various chromists acquired photosynthetic organelles has been complicated by conflicting phylogenetic results, along with an undetermined number and pattern of endosymbioses, and the horizontal movement of genes that accompany them. W...

In the online version of the article, the affiliations for both authors are incorrect. Both the first author, Rogier Braakman, and the second author, Eric Smith, should be indicated as affiliated with institution number 1, Santa Fe Institute, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States of America. Only the second author should be affiliated with institution number 2, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Stud...
متن کاملMetabolic Evolution of a Deep-Branching Hyperthermophilic Chemoautotrophic Bacterium
Aquifex aeolicus is a deep-branching hyperthermophilic chemoautotrophic bacterium restricted to hydrothermal vents and hot springs. These characteristics make it an excellent model system for studying the early evolution of metabolism. Here we present the whole-genome metabolic network of this organism and examine in detail the driving forces that have shaped it. We make extensive use of phylom...
متن کاملA nuclear gene of eubacterial origin in Euglena gracilis reflects cryptic endosymbioses during protist evolution.
Genes for glycolytic and Calvin-cycle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) of higher eukaryotes derive from ancient gene duplications which occurred in eubacterial genomes; both were transferred to the nucleus during the course of endosymbiosis. We have cloned cDNAs encoding chloroplast and cytosolic GAPDH from the early-branching photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis and have det...
