Reassessment of the Lineage Fusion Hypothesis for the Origin of Double Membrane Bacteria
In 2009, James Lake introduced a new hypothesis in which reticulate phylogeny reconstruction is used to elucidate the origin of Gram-negative bacteria (Nature 460: 967-971). The presented data supported the Gram-negative bacteria originating from an ancient endosymbiosis between the Actinobacteria a...
