Rickettsiales' deep evolutionary history sheds light on the emergence of intracellular lifestyles

L. Serra Moncadas, T. Shabarova, V. Silva Kavagutti, P.-A. Bulzu, M.-C. Chiriac, S.-J. Park, I. Mukherjee, R. Ghai, A.-S. Andrei

This study investigates the evolutionary history of Rickettsiales bacteria, showing how cross-feeding interactions with eukaryotes influenced their transition to intracellular lifestyles and genomic adaptations.

Heliorhodopsin evolution is driven by photosensory promiscuity in monoderms

P.-A. Bulzu, V. S. Kavagutti, M.-C. Chiriac, C. Vavourakis, K. Inoue, H. Kandori, A.-S. Andrei, R. Ghai

This study identifies heliorhodopsins (HeRs) as a novel type-3 rhodopsin family restricted to monoderms, likely functioning as light-dependent switches for stress mitigation and metabolic regulation.
