Origin of Mitochondria and Hydrogenosomes

Origin of Mitochondria and Hydrogenosomes

by WilliamF.Martin (Editor), Miklós Müller (Editor)

Synopsis

The evolutionary origins of hydrogenosomes have been the subject of considerable debate. This volume closes the gap between the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of organelles and their incorporation into evolutionary theory. It reveals that identifying the genetic contribution to eukaryotes of the mitochondrial endosymbiosis, and revealing the functions of its descendent organelles, are key to understanding eukaryotic biology and evolution.
