Hydrogenosomes and Mitosomes: Mitochondria of Anaerobic Eukaryotes

"Hydrogenosomes and Mitosomes: Mihondria of Anaerobic Eukaryotes" provides a summary of the current knowledge of these organelles, which occur in unicellular, often parasitic organisms, including human pathogens. The distribution of these organelles is broad, but they were detected primarily in an anoxic habitat or nutrient rich intracellular niche that permits life without the efficient energy generating system of typical mihondria. Their common characteristic is that they lack the aerobic...
