Degenerate mitochondria.

EMBO reports - 1 Jun 2005

van der Giezen Mark, Tovar Jorge

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria are the main sites of biological energy generation in eukaryotes. These organelles are remnants of a bacterial endosymbiont that took up residence inside a host cell over 1,500 million years ago. Comparative genomics studies suggest that the mitochondrion is monophyletic in origin. Thus, the original mitochondrial endosymbiont has evolved independently in anaerobic and aerobic environments that are...
