with an alphaproteobacterial partner (the mitochondrial endosymbiont).
It also suggests that cell life could have emerged
with a far greater variety of pre-cellular forms than those conventionally considered, as the new giant virus has almost no equivalent among the three recognized domains of cellular life, namely eukaryota (or
eukaryotes), eubacteria, and archaea.
They live inside their host's cells and have highly specialized features: They are only able to reproduce inside the host's cells, they have the smallest known genome of all organisms
with a cell nucleus (

Some populations of these
eukaryotes have upped their survival odds even further by bringing their favorite bacterial food along
with them to create a fresh crop that is seeded and consumed in the new habitat.

In some prokaryotes as well as in the organelles of some
