Ancestral Absence of Electron Transport Chains in Patescibacteria and DPANN

Ancestral Absence of Electron Transport Chains in Patescibacteria and DPANN

Recent discoveries suggest that the candidate superphyla Patescibacteria and DPANN constitute a large fraction of the phylogenetic diversity of Bacteria and Archaea. Their small genomes and limited coding potential have been hypothesized to be ancestral adaptations to obligate symbiotic lifestyles....
