Did you ever wonder about the physiological, ecological, and evolutionary consequences of a low energy-yielding metabolism in anaerobic eukaryotes? I attempted to provide an answer in this essay: https://rdcu.be/c3xJa

Our study on the functional conservation of alphaproteobacterial Mic60 is out in Current Biology! This is consistent with the origin of mitochondrial cristae from alphaproteobacterial ICMs. Free access here: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1gl4Z3QW8S2PcF

Are you curious about purple photosymbioses? Sebastian Hess and I have written a Quick Guide for Current Biology where we summarize our current knowledge on these very rare symbioses. Free access here: https://t.co/9uHTmhhIzm

How do anaerobic (microbial) #eukaryotes make a living?
- some interesting ideas here on their energetics when ATP production is low (when compared to aerobic growth).

Energetics and evolution of anaerobic microbial eukaryotes - Nature Microbiology

An argument for how anaerobic eukaryotes have maintained cellular complexity over evolutionary time, despite reliance on the low energy-yielding fermentation.
