The original theory by Lynn Margulis proposed an additional preliminary merger, but this is poorly supported and not now generally believed. [1] Symbiogenesis (endosymbiotic theory, or serial endosymbiotic theory [2]) is the leading evolutionary theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. [3]
An overview of the endosymbiosis theory of eukaryote origin (symbiogenesis). Symbiogenesis theory holds that eukaryotes evolved via absorbing prokaryotes. Typically, one organism envelopes a bacterium and the two evolve a mutualistic relationship. The absorbed bacteria (the endosymbiont) eventually lives exclusively within the host cells.

The theory of endosymbiosis, as known as symbiogenesis, provides an explanation for the evolution of eukaryotic organisms. According to the theory of endosymbiosis for the origin of eukaryotic cells, scientists believe that eukaryotes originated from the relationship between two or more prokaryotic cells approximately 2.7 billion years ago.
Reductive evolution [4] is the basis behind the Endosymbiotic Theory, which states that Eukaryotes absorbed other microorganisms (Eukaryotes and archaea) for their metabolites produced. The absorbed organisms undergo reductive evolution, deleting genes that were deemed nonessential or non-beneficial to the cell in its specific niche in the host.
English: In 1966 Microbiologist Kwang Jeon conducted an experiment with amoebae communities providing real-life evidence for the endosymbiotic theory. The single-celled amoebae community was infected by a bacterial infection of x-bacteria. The x-bacteria caused many of the amoebae to become sick and die. Very few of the amoebae survived the ...
