Journal ArticleDOI
The physiology and habitat of the last universal common ancestor
Madeline C. Weiss,Filipa L. Sousa,Natalia Mrnjavac,Sinje Neukirchen,Mayo Roettger,Shijulal Nelson-Sathi,William Martin +6 more
TL;DR: The data support the theory of an autotrophic origin of life involving the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway in a hydrothermal setting and identify clostridia and methanogens, whose modern lifestyles resemble that of LUCA, as basal among their respective domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lokiarchaeon is hydrogen dependent.
TL;DR: Comparative genomic evidence is reported indicating that Lokiarchaeon is hydrogen dependent, as one theory for the eukaryote origin—the hydrogen hypothesis—predicts for the host lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Future of Origin of Life Research: Bridging Decades-Old Divisions.
Martina Preiner,Silke Asche,Sidney Becker,Holly C. Betts,Adrien Boniface,Eloi Camprubi,Kuhan Chandru,Kuhan Chandru,Valentina Erastova,Sriram G. Garg,Nozair Khawaja,Gladys Kostyrka,Rainer Machné,Giacomo Moggioli,Kamila B. Muchowska,Sinje Neukirchen,Benedikt Peter,Edith Pichlhöfer,Ádám Radványi,Daniele Rossetto,Annalena Salditt,Nicolas M. Schmelling,Nicolas M. Schmelling,Filipa L. Sousa,Fernando D. K. Tria,Dániel Vörös,Joana C. Xavier +26 more
TL;DR: It is found that even though classical approaches and theories—e.g., bottom-up and top-down, RNA world vs. metabolism-first—have been prevalent in origin of life research, they are ceasing to be mutually exclusive and they can and should feed integrating approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy for two: New archaeal lineages and the origin of mitochondria
William Martin,William Martin,Sinje Neukirchen,Verena Zimorski,Sven B. Gould,Filipa L. Sousa +5 more
TL;DR: These exciting new metagenomic studies are looked at, what they say about archaeal physiology in modern environments, how they impact views on host‐mitochondrion physiological interactions at eukaryote origin, and how to understand how these new lineages live in their environment is important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissimilatory sulfate reduction in the archaeon ‘Candidatus Vulcanisaeta moutnovskia’ sheds light on the evolution of sulfur metabolism
N. A. Chernyh,Sinje Neukirchen,Evgenii N. Frolov,Filipa L. Sousa,Margarita L. Miroshnichenko,Alexander Y. Merkel,Nikolay Pimenov,Dimitry Y. Sorokin,Sergio Ciordia,María Carmen Mena,Manuel Ferrer,Peter N. Golyshin,Alexander V. Lebedinsky,Inês A. C. Pereira,Elizaveta A. Bonch-Osmolovskaya,Elizaveta A. Bonch-Osmolovskaya +15 more
TL;DR: Investigation of substantial rates of sulfate reduction in acidic hyperthermal terrestrial springs of the Kamchatka Peninsula and attributed DSR in this environment to Crenarchaeota in the Vulcanisaeta genus confirmed DSR by ‘Candidatus Vulcaniseta moutnovskia’, which has all of the required genes.
