Endocytobiosis

Endocytobiosis is a symbiosis where one symbiont inhabits the cytoplasm of anotplasmaher. Both chloroplasts and mitochondria are cell organelles now widely believed to have evolved from bacteria that once lived as endosymbionts within the cytoplasm of ancestors of eukaryotic cells. Based on the hypothesis, the information, structure, and function of endocytobionts and eukaryotic DNA containing cell organelles are analogous. The only extant example of an endocytobiosis is the lichen-like zygomycete Geosiphon pyriforme. Endocytobionts synthesize metabolites such as vitamins, amino acids for the hosts using their waste products such as urea and uric acid.
