I am sad because two recent episodes were apparently not listed on the MicrobeTV calendar nor Vincent's twitter feed. What is the best way for me to learn in advance of the episodes? This episode is something I was so sad to miss!
Nels says that all eukaryotes have mitochondria, but a recent paper by Caesar Al Jewari and Sandra L. Baldauf, "An excavate root for the eukaryote tree of life", suggests that many of the amitochondriate eukaryotes that make up the paraphyletic "Excavata" group are indeed basal eukaryotes whose lineage very has mitochondria and that their hydrogenosomes, rather than being degenerate mitochondria, are the result of an earlier endosymbiosis with a γ- or δ-proteobacterium and that the mitochondria-causing α-proteobacteria endosymbiosis divides our Amorphea group, the plants' Diaphoretickes group, and the "excavate" Discoba clade from the more basal "excavates". I think this would be an interesting topic to explore on the eukaryotic side of our lineage's deep history.
Here from Brazil. Thank you so much for this effort! This episode is damn so cool! Congratulations!
listening from Croatia 😊 Thank you
