From endosymbiosis to synthetic photosynthetic life.
The chloroplasts of photosynthetic eukaryotes arose more than 1.6 billion years ago (Yoon et al., 2004) through the process of primary endosymbiosis, in which a cyanobacterium became permanently integrated into a heterotrophic mitochondriate eukaryote (Reyes-Prieto et al., 2007). Through subsequent secondary and tertiary endosymbioses (i.e. additional nested endosymbioses between plastid-bearin...

متن کاملPhotosynthetic eukaryotes unite: endosymbiosis connects the dots.
The photosynthetic organelle of algae and plants (the plastid) traces its origin to a primary endosymbiotic event in which a previously non-photosynthetic protist engulfed and enslaved a cyanobacterium. This eukaryote then gave rise to the red, green and glaucophyte algae. However, many algal lineages, such as the chlorophyll c-containing chromists, have a more complicated evolutionary history ...
متن کاملFrom light to life: an interdisciplinary journey into photosynthetic activity.
Introduction One intention of the organizers of the EMBO workshop on Molecular Genetics and Biophysical Aspects of Photosynthesis was to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and experimental approaches. Indeed, the meeting proved that photosynthesis is a privileged field of interdisciplinary research, in which each of the many methods used in its investigation (whether biophysic...
متن کاملEndosymbiosis
The 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. Traditionally, biologists have viewed evolution as a largely bifurcating pattern, reflecting mutations and other changes in existing genetic information and the occasional speciation and divergence of lineages. While lineage b...
