Here's a new exciting paper by my dear protistologist colleagues in Prague! This builds upon a project I was working on in my PhD. We explored a group of #protists that have, uniquely among #eukaryotes, completely lost their mitochondria, as well as their relatives with reduced mitochondria.

What purpose do #ReducedMitochondria serve? https://phys.org/news/2022-11-purpose-mitochondria.html

Reduced #mitochondria provide an essential function for the cytosolic #methionine cycle: Justyna Zítek et al. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(22)01673-6
