🐛 Mixotricha paradoxa — the protist that swims using 250,000 living bacteria as outboard motors
When first described in 1933, Mixotricha paradoxa appeared to swim using thousands of hair-like cilia. Electron microscopy in the 1960s revealed the truth: those "cilia" were actually ~250,000 individual spirochete bacteria anchored to its outer membrane, beating in synchrony to propel the host cell.
This single-celled organism lives exclusively in the hindgut of Australia's primitive giant termite (Mastotermes darwiniensis). It has no mitochondria and no independent mobility — its four flagella act only as rudders, while the bacterial swarm does all the work. Evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis called it "the beast with five genomes" because it is a composite of host, two species of propulsion spirochetes, surface rod bacteria, and internal wood-digesting endosymbionts.
Mixotricha dies within minutes of oxygen exposure and has never been cultured in a lab. It is considered a living snapshot of symbiogenesis — the theory that complex eukaryotic cells arose when ancient prokaryotes merged into single functioning entities, frozen mid-transition.

Her groundbreaking theory on the origin of life was rejected 15 times. Then biology proved her right.

Central to this thesis are #symbiogenesis and quantum entanglement, which highlight the Universe’s interconnectedness and emphasize collaboration and energy synergy over Darwinian competition. The book explores the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio as self-organizing principles inherent in complex systems, ranging from the micro to the macro—from the periodic table to the cosmos, and even in consciousness, human development, and aging. -
Conscious Life by John S. Torday , Rob G. Sacco, 2025
Bridging Cellular Origins, Quantum Realities, and Cosmic Connections
Understanding consciousness is the most important scientific principle left to be understood. The conventional way of thinking about evolution is focused on materiality, whereas a true understanding of evolution can only be understood by re-focusing on the flow of energy in service to Symbiogenesis.

Hello Planetearth,
I'm new to mastodon, never got my head around twittering, learning this new language as we chat.
I'm also a linguist, language creator, quick learner, passionate about symbiogenesis and our symbiotope – in all its dazzling fractals & ripples

Colonialism in Tanzania
The displacement of the Maasai in Ngorongoro is primarily attributed to the desire to protect wildlife and ecology from the very people who have been its natural environmental conservators for centuries.

@JohnShirley2023 Interesting article, thanks for sharing. I spent a lot of time looking at at Margolis' work on #symbiogenesis in the late aughts, directed there by looking at #memetics and #evolutionaryeconomics (separately) and the mechanisms thereof, and it really influenced my work.
Watson's /Compositional Evolution/ (2006) was helpful, though sadly no longer on the bookshelf.
