    Spot the Viscacha

    Somewhere in this image of NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a viscacha - a rabbit-like rodent related to chinchillas. The furry creature is well-camouflaged for the foothills of the Chilean Andes surrounding Rubin.

    These #microbes have been thriving without #mitochondria since the age of #dinosaurs!

    7 years ago, we identified the first known #eukaryote that has completely lost its mitochondria in a humble inhabitant of #chinchilla's gut - #Monocercomonoides exilis.

    Today, we can say with confidence, that this intriguing simplification of the cell is not unique to M. exilis, but shared with many of its relatives. This means that it happened at least 100 million years ago!
