Having two different endosymbionts may allow the ciliate Pseudoblepharisma tenue to live in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor zones of the muddy bogs of southern Germany.

The transcription of DNA drives the remarkably tidy organization of chromosomes in the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium microadriaticum.

Researchers uncover the “body-snatching” tactics of fungi that flourish immediately after wildfires.

A newly identified group of viruses may help suppress eukaryotes’ immune response and promote tolerance of endosymbiotic bacteria.

Researchers suggest the viruses can help endosymbiotic bacteria get along with their hosts.

The finding that a bacterium within a bacterium within an animal cell cooperates with the host on a biosynthetic pathway suggests the endosymbiont is, practically speaking, an organelle.

Gates was director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology and a strong advocate for coral conservation.

Contrary to some hypotheses, the organelles did not descend from any known lineage of Alphaproteobacteria, researchers find.

Scientists study the unusual genome evolution of the bacteria that live within a genus of cicadas.
