Very excited to see this!
"Thus, we can deduce that [the first eukaryote common ancestor] was an anaerobic, syntrophic, peptide-degrading, mesophilic archaeon that had simple cell structure with branching protrusions and no endomembrane system."

New isolates from eukaryote's closest archaeal relative: ‘Hodarchaeales’!! Syntrophic microaerotolerant peptide-degrading anaerobic archaea w/ simple cell structure & protrusions. Features conserved across the phylum provide new insight into our ancestor’s biology!
