This project aims to deepen the understanding of the evolutionary origins of complex life by studying Asgard archaea. It focuses on their ability to cope with oxygen and their ecological context, which may shed light on the emergence of eukaryotic organisms.
Many aspects of life's evolutionary history remain poorly understood, such as the emergence of complex eukaryotic life.
The recent discovery of Asgard archaea in anoxic sediments has provided fundamental insights into this process due to their phylogenetic proximity to eukaryotes and their eukaryote-like protein repertoire.
The cultivation of the first two anaerobic organisms from this group, both belonging to the Lokiarchaeia, provided support for their role in eukaryogenesis, especially with t…
