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!

Paper alert 🚨
Comparative genomics in #Preaxostyla confirms the complete loss of #mitochondria and full mitochondria proteome in the #oxymonad species #Monocercomonoides exilis, #Blattamonas nauphoetae, and #Streblomastix strix. This research extends the amitochondriate status to the Oxymonadida.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.24.517819v1
