This project investigates the integration of cyanobacterial-derived chromatophores within the amoeba Paulinella, focusing on their cellular physiology. By examining metabolic exchanges and light responses, the research aims to uncover the mechanisms behind plastid evolution and integration, providing insights into the…
The endosymbiotic integration of cyanobacteria within Eukaryotes was one of the pivotal evolutionary transitions.
This transition, however, is difficult to study because modern plastids represent highly derived end-states and are not transitionary; we know, therefore, very little about the mechanisms involved.
Primary plastid endosymbiosis has occurred only twice: once in the ancestor of Archaeplastida and once independently in the amoeba Paulinella.
Each Paulinella cell houses two chromatophore…
