The Simplest Integrated Multicellular Organism Unveiled
Volvocine green algae represent the "evolutionary time machine" model lineage for studying multicellularity, because they encompass the whole range of evolutionary transition of multicellularity from unicellular Chlamydomonas to >500-celled Volvox. Multicellular volvocalean species including Gonium pectorale and Volvox carteri generally have several common morphological features to survive as i...
متن کاملBuilding a multicellular organism.
Multicellular organisms appear to have arisen from unicells numerous times. Multicellular cyanobacteria arose early in the history of life on Earth. Multicellular forms have since arisen independently in each of the kingdoms and several times in some phyla. If the step from unicellular to multicellular life was taken early and frequently, the selective advantage of multicellularity may be large...
متن کاملOn the principles of multicellular organism development
Non-equilibrium physics has traditionally dealt mostly with inanimate matter. Yet, in the last decades there has been increasing interest in understanding living systems from this perspective. One example is using the framework and tools of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and nonlinear physics to study how living organisms composed of many differentiated cells develop from a single initia...
متن کاملMagnetic optimization in a multicellular magnetotactic organism.
Unicellular magnetotactic prokaryotes, which typically carry a natural remanent magnetic moment equal to the saturation magnetic moment, are the prime example of magnetically optimized organisms. We here report magnetic measurements on a multicellular magnetotactic prokaryote (MMP) consisting of 17 undifferentiated cells (mean from 148 MMPs) with chains of ferrimagnetic particles in each cell. ...
متن کاملCell organization and ultrastructure of a magnetotactic multicellular organism.
Magnetotactic multicellular aggregates and many-celled magnetotactic prokaryotes have been described as spherical organisms composed of several Gram-negative bacteria capable to align themselves along magnetic fields and swim as a unit. Here we describe a similar organism collected in a large hypersaline lagoon in Brazil. Ultrathin sections and freeze fracture replicas showed that the cells are...
