The Once-In-An-Eon Event That Gave Earth Plants Has Happened Again https://www.iflscience.com/the-once-in-an-eon-event-that-gave-earth-plants-has-happened-again-73878 > An event that is only known to have happened three times before in the history of life on Earth has just been documented again. A marine bacterium was subsumed into its algal host organism, co-evolving with it for long enough that it can now be considered an organelle, part of the alga’s cellular machinery. That means these algae are the first eukaryotes (organisms with their DNA in a membrane-bound nucleus) known to contain an organelle capable of fixing nitrogen.
