de micro-organismos
-Procariontes fueron los únicos organismo presentes por muchos mill de años
- El primer oxígeno atmosférico fuehecho por las cianobacterias
– Plantas no existían aún– Micro-organismos todavía producen la mitad del O2producido globalmente
- Primero eucariotas también fueron células únicas y microscópicas

Acumulación de O22700 m.a.
FotosíntesisOxígeno atmosférico comenzó a acumularsehace 2700 millones de años atrás
• Fotosíntesis se desarrolló probablemente muy temprano en la vida de los procariontes
–Primeras versiones de fotosíntesisno usaron agua ni liberaron O2
• Cianobacteria, organismosfotosintéticos que rompen el agua y liberan O2 son losprimeros responsables del aumento del oxígeno en la atmosfera.

Importancia de la transferencia horizontal de genes en la evolución
• Aumento de las evidencia de una transferencia horizontal de genes entre los grupos mayores e.g. genes “bacterianos” específicos en Archaea
Ejemplo: gen de la enzima MGCoA reductasa en grupos de Archaea
Esta Archaea reemplazó su gen por uno de bacteria

especially, is often elaborate and includes such structures as sensory bristles,photoreceptors, sinuously beating cilia, leglike appendages, mouth parts, sting-ing darts, and musclelike contractile bundles. Although they are single cells,protozoa can be as intricate, as versatile, and as complex in their behavior asmany multicellular organisms (see Figure 1–32). <ATGG> <TCGC>
In terms of their ancestry and DNA sequences, protists are far more diversethan the multicellular animals, plants, and fungi, which arose as three compara-tively late branches of the eucaryotic pedigree (see Figure 1–21). As with procary-otes, humans have tended to neglect the protists because they are microscopic.Only now, with the help of genome analysis, are we beginning to understandtheir positions in the tree of life, and to put into context the glimpses thesestrange creatures offer us of our distant evolutionary past.
A Yeast Serves as a Minimal Model Eucaryote
The molecular and genetic complexity of eucaryotes is daunting. Even morethan for procaryotes, biologists need to concentrate their limited resources on afew selected model organisms to fathom this complexity.
To analyze the internal workings of the eucaryotic cell, without the addi-tional problems of multicellular development, it makes sense to use a speciesthat is unicellular and as simple as possible. The popular choice for this role ofminimal model eucaryote has been the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Figure1–42)—the same species that is used by brewers of beer and bakers of bread.
S. cerevisiae is a small, single-celled member of the kingdom of fungi andthus, according to modern views, at least as closely related to animals as it is toplants. It is robust and easy to grow in a simple nutrient medium. Like otherfungi, it has a tough cell wall, is relatively immobile, and possesses mitochondriabut not chloroplasts. When nutrients are plentiful, it grows and divides almost as
