What people are saying
The discussions reveal a mixture of curiosity and support, with users referencing key articles and theories, such as Lynn Margulis's work, and posing deep questions about the origins of cellular components like the nucleus. The tone mixes scientific references with shared enthusiasm, emphasizing the topic's relevance and evolving nature.
Most discussions reflect support or curiosity about the theory, indicating some level of agreement or openness to its concepts.
The discussions show high engagement and curiosity, especially with references to new research and historical ideas, demonstrating strong interest.
Posts include references to specific studies, questions, and scholarly sources, indicating active engagement beyond superficial reactions.
The ongoing conversations and references to foundational research suggest this theoretical framework has potential impact on understanding eukaryote origins.
Abstract in brief
- Endosymbiotic theories suggest that eukaryotic cells originated from a symbiotic relationship between different prokaryotic cells, particularly highlighting the role of mitochondria as evidence of this process.
- Recent research emphasizes that only cells with mitochondria had enough energy to develop complex eukaryotic features, which explains the lack of clear transitional forms between prokaryotes and eukaryotes and points to archaea as potential ancestors.
- A new perspective indicates that the host cell involved in the origin of plastids was a facultative anaerobe, meaning it could survive with or without oxygen, shedding light on the evolution of certain cellular components.]

@loekvossen Thanks for reading and yes, I found it super interesting, too! The idea is quite old but it has evolved. Here is a more recent review https://t.co/CHwFJvTdNL
If eukaryotes arose from endosymbiotic merger, who are the parents? Bacteria, archaea, maybe even a virus? All 3? What drove the symbiosis? Why did eukaryotes evolve only once? Where did the nucleus come from? All equally (im)plausible possibilities: https://t.co/vCFDwG6mu2 https://t.co/pE5caQ9Hs0

@onlychrispark Myxobateria forms in chains like a multicellular organism to prevent predation and counter recourse scarcity. It’s reasonable to assume multicellular bacteria formed for similar reasons Attached are a molecular geneticist and a study answering the question https://t.co/t3gnssBTre https://t.co/F21EADbvAG
