Abstract

In recent decades, it has become a consensus that mitochondria correspond to descendants of independent creatures that somehow became embedded within an archaeon, forming an inextricable association [1]. It is also considered that this association represents one of the early stages in the development of eukaryotes, the vast group that encompasses all creatures more complex than a bacterium [2].
