Minimization of extracellular space as a driving force in prokaryote association and the origin of eukaryotes.

Biology direct - 18 Nov 2014

Hooper Scott L, Burstein Helaine J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Internalization-based hypotheses of eukaryotic origin require close physical association of host and symbiont. Prior hypotheses of how these associations arose include chance, specific metabolic couplings between partners, and prey-predator/parasite interactions. Since these hypotheses were proposed, it has become apparent that mixed-species, close-association assemblages (biofilms) are widespread and...
