A single-celled alga called Cryptomonas gyropyrenoidosa has been discovered to contain seven genomes inside its cell, each belonging to a different bacterial species. This is an example of endosymbiosis, where one organism lives inside another and benefits both partners. The seven genomes may help the alga adapt to different environmental conditions and resist infections by other microbes.

My final seminar with the colours and design. It was fun to speak at the Seminar. Thank you very much for the invitation Sebastian Schornack, and thanks to everyone who attended and joined the discussion - I enjoyed it at lot. 🙂

Paper alert 🚨

Euplotes' endosymbiont 'Ca. Nebulobacter yamunensis' cannot survive out of its host, yet its genome shows extreme molecular and functional similarities to that of the free-living Fastidiosibacter lacustris (bacteria) ...

How could this be? these two have striking differences in their lifestyles ...

Could their study help understand the earliest stages in the evolution of ?

"These endosymbiont-targeted proteins (ETPs) include two proteins annotated as dynamin-like protein and peptidoglycan hydrolase that form a ring-shaped structure around the endosymbiont division site that remarkably resembles organellar division machineries."

Mastodon and Career newbie.
I'm looking for and people to follow about and I have a scholarly interest in , (and hope to get a gig either in the lab or in the field figuring stuff out that we don't know yet, but that's after I finish my degree)

How many host proteins do mitochondria-related organelles (MROs), which lack a genome, import? Not many. Here is a super cool paper that uses spatial proteomics to show that the MRO of an oxymonad has only 31 proteins in it! They all seem to be involved in providing small C compounds to the cytosol. (No Fe-S synthesis!) Cool stuff from Vladimír Hampl and colleagues.
