This research investigates the evolutionary origins of photosynthetic eukaryotes, focusing on the endosymbiotic relationship between ancient eukaryotes and cyanobacteria. By studying the physiology and genetics of specific cyanobacterial groups, it aims to uncover the mechanisms that facilitated successful endosymbiosi…
More than 1 Ga ago, an ancient eukaryote became photosynthetic by engulfing a cyanobacterium that evolved into the first plastid.
This had profound consequences for the planet: photosynthetic eukaryotes became major primary producers and biogeochemical players.
From this primary endosymbiosis evolved green algae and plants, red algae, and glaucophytes.
Later, secondary endosymbioses of red and green algae spread plastids in numerous other phyla.
However, many aspects of this evolutionary history…
