Complex Cells Likely Arose From Combination Of Bacterial And Extreme-microbe Genomes

ScienceDaily (Sep. 9, 2004) — ARLINGTON, Va.-- According to a new report, complex cells like those in the human body probably resulted from the fusion of genomes from an ancient bacterium and a simpler microbe, Archaea, best known for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and hostile environments. The finding provides strong evidence that complex cells arose from combinations of simpler organisms in a symbiotic effort to survive.
