Abstract
The widely accepted endosymbiont theory of eukaryotic evolution holds that organelles arose from free-living prokaryotes (a proteobacterium and a cyanobacterium giving rise to mitochondria and chloroplasts, respectively) that were engulfed by an ancestral archaeal host cell ([Embley and Martin, 2006
