Document Summary
Most common form of the theory is probably: Capture or engulfing of an aerobic bacteria within a primitive anaerobic eukaryote (no mitos) Bacterium had a full set of genes for being a bacterium prior to engulfment. Process of evolution includes transfer of some genes from the bacterium to the nucleus. Note: among extant bacteria (bacterial species that exist in the world today), the -proteobacteria are the closest relatives to the ancestors of mitos. Includes the rickettsias (obligate intracellular parasites) and other organisms in this species that live in close relationships with other cells. Mitos descending from some ancient -proteobacteria is almost universally accepted. Simultaneous evolution of the eukaryotic nucleus (contain archaea dna + dna transferred from the bacterium) and the mitos. Some evidence to support this view - cp5. 1.
