While present-day heterotrophic protists can serve as a model for the host in plastid endosymbiosis, the situation is more difficult with regard to (the preceding) mitochondrial origin: Two chapters describe these processes and theories and inherent controversies. However, the emphasis is placed on the evolution of phototrophic eukaryotes: Here, intermediate stages can be studied and the enormous diversity of algal species can be explained by multiple secondary and tertiary (eukaryote-eukaryote) endosymbioses superimposed to the single primary endosymbiotic event. Steps crucial for the establishment of a stable, mutualistic relationship between host and endosymbiont, as metabolic symbiosis, recruitment of suitable metabolite transporters, massive gene transfer to the nucleus, development of specific translocases for the re-import of endosymbiont proteins, etc. are discussed in individual c | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Endosymbiosis; Eukaryotes; Evolution; Gene transfer; Mitochondria; Organelles | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7091-1303-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-7091-1961-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-7091-1303-5 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Wien 2014 |
