Evidence for a hydrogenosomal-type anaerobic ATP generation pathway in Acanthamoeba castellanii.
Diverse, distantly-related eukaryotic lineages have adapted to low-oxygen environments, and possess mitochondrion-related organelles that have lost the capacity to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. A subset of these organelles, hydrogenosomes, has acquired a se...
