Abstract in brief

  • Paulina is an important example in understanding how free-living cyanobacteria were integrated into single-celled organisms to become photosynthetic organelles, which significantly increased Earth's oxygen levels.
  • There have been two independent instances of this process: one about 1.6 billion years ago in Archaeplastida, and a more recent one in Paulinella, which occurred around 90–140 million years ago and is studied as a model for early organelle evolution.
  • Research on Paulinella focuses on its chromatophore's genetic makeup, how it interacts metabolically with the host cell, and how proteins are targeted into this organelle, providing insights into early steps of plastid development.
