Plants and various groups of algae also have plastids with their own DNA and, like animals, are accepted to have developed
from endosymbionts, in this case cyanobacteria.
Indeed, scientists now know that some organelles evolved
from endosymbiont bacteria, raising hopes that studying tiny endosymbionts like Tremblayacould shed light on the evolution of those organelles.
