Abstract Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) proteins are present in virtually all living organisms and are
involved in numerous cellular processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic …

If evolution was/is a fact, a simplified/unifying approach to explain cellular physiology is
warranted. Such a perspective should agree with the thermodynamic, kinetic, structural, and …

Metabarcoding of microbial eukaryotes (collectively known as protists) has developed
tremendously in the last decade, almost solely relying on the 18S rRNA gene. As microbial …

Mitochondria and aerobic respiration have been suggested to be required for the evolution
of eukaryotic cell complexity. Aerobic respiration is several times more energetically efficient …

Motivation Currently used methods for estimating branch support in phylogenetic analyses
often rely on the classic Felsenstein's bootstrap, parametric tests, or their approximations. As …

Anaerobiosis has independently evolved in multiple lineages of ciliates, allowing them to
colonize a variety of anoxic and oxygen‐depleted habitats. Anaerobic ciliates commonly …

Murburn concept is a new perspective to metabolism which posits that certain redox
enzymes/proteins mediate catalysis outside their active site, via diffusible reactive oxygen …

Polypodium hydriforme is an enigmatic parasite that belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. Its
taxonomic position has been debated: whereas it was previously suggested to be part of …

Background Explaining the emergence of the hallmarks of bilaterians is a central focus of
evolutionary developmental biology—evodevo—and evolutionary genomics. For this …

Over the past years, plant hypoxia research has produced a considerable number of new
resources to monitor low oxygen responses in model species, mainly Arabidopsis thaliana …
