Abstract
Numerous eukaryotes have switched to anaerobiosis, variously reducing their mitochondrial metabolism. Rotterová et al. describe two new classes of obligately anaerobic ciliates with prokaryotic symbionts and reduced mitochondria with unique pathways for energetic metabolism, introducing possible mechanisms of transitions to obligate anaerobiosis.
