Martin's own thoughts on the birth of the nucleus stem from a further considerationnamely, that all eukaryotes appear to have had mitochondria at some point in their past.

At some point, Martin speculates, the bacterium gave the archaean a gene for membrane synthesis, leading to a bubbling up of membrane within the host cell, something like what happens when modern eukaryotes divide and then reform their nucleus from membrane pieces grown inside them.

But they also at some point combined, producing eukaryotes, some scientists assert.

Some microbes merged with hydrogen - producing microbes (probably multi-functional ancestral mitochondria) to become eukaryotes that later developed into multi-cellular «animals» that survive and breed in anoxic conditions, without oxygen (phylum Loricifera, which includes Spinoloricus at left — more).

One view of the Phylogeny of Life on Earth (at the University of California at Berkeley's Museum of Paleontology) highlights the role of archeabacteria among prokaryotes — as a separate «Archaea domain» apart from Eubacteria — in the development of cellular life with nuclei (eukaryotes).
