Abstract: A eukaryote with two contrasting intracellular photosymbionts has a unique combination of physiological properties. Oxygenic photosynthesizers (cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae) have repeatedly become endosymbionts throughout evolution. In contrast, anoxygenic photosynthesizers (e.g., purple bacteria) are exceedingly… read more here.
