Processes on the Young Earth and the Habitats of Early Life (2012, background): “All protists carry organelles related to mitochondria (e.g., mitosomes, hydrogenosomes, etc.) and possess genes of α-proteobacterial descent (Embley & Martin 2006).”
The ancient Virus World and evolution of cells (2006, background): “Given the overwhelming evidence of the origin of mitochondria and related organelles (hydrogenosomes and mitosomes) from α-proteobacteria, the nature of the partners and the direction of the symbiosis appear clear: an α-proteobacterium invaded an archaeal cell [69-71].”
An update on chloroplast genomes (2008, background): “The origin of chloroplasts dates back to more than a billion years (Brocks et al. 1999, Kostianovsky 2000, Embley and Martin 2006).”
Bacterial symbionts as mediators of ecologically important traits of insect hosts (2011, background): “With very few exceptions, all animals have incorporated microorganisms that became organelles such as mitochondria (Embley & Martin, 2006).”
Function and biogenesis of iron–sulphur proteins (2009, background): “Cell-biological studies of several amitochondriate species have shown that the organisms harbour small double-membrane-bounded organelles, termed mitosomes, that contain homologues of the mitochondrial chaperones Hsp60 and Hsp70 as marker protein”
The Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution (2011, background): “archaeal or archaea-related one, and a bacterial (most likely α-proteobacterial) one, given the well-established ancestry of the mitochondrial endosymbiont (Embley and Martin, 2006; Rivera and Lake, 2004).”
Complex archaea that bridge the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes (2015, background): “Most importantly, all contigs containing ESPs discussed in the manuscript were manually inspected to verify that these actually belong to Lokiarchaeum, by: (1) inspecting neighbouring genes for the presence of archaeal markers; (2) by querying all proteins present on contigs containing ESPs against ”
Isolation of an archaeon at the prokaryote–eukaryote interface (2019, background): “PA could likely degrade organics (1) aerobically or (2) anaerobically in interaction with SRB.”
Varieties of Living Things: Life at the Intersection of Lineage and Metabolism (2009, background): “See Embley and Martin (2006) for a demolition of the ‘amitochondriate eukaryotes’ hypothesis.”
Estimating the timing of early eukaryotic diversification with multigene molecular clocks (2011, background): “Although numerous hypotheses have been proposed (19–23), the position of the root remains an open debate (16, 17, 24, 25).”
