Biodiversity: molecular biological domains, symbiosis and kingdom origins.

Bio Systems - 1 Jan 1992

Margulis L

Abstract excerpt

The number of extant species of organisms is estimated to be from fewer than 3 to more than 30 x 10(6) (May, 1992). Molecular biology, comparative genetics and ultrastructural analyses provide new insights into evolutionary relationships between these species, including increasingly precise ideas...
