Wake up babe, new organelle just dropped

It's not common for a eukaryotic organism to develop a new organelle, let alone one this powerful! Where does the "nitroplast" come from, and what does it have in common with Classic Organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts?

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON

Organelle for the organelle god!

This is a channel I can recommend to the young grade school science nerds.

[@mrobinson9297]

man. ive theorized this existed. its nice to see proof.

[@Liberperlo]

New organelle, new science nerdery I now follow! 👍

[@jdrobertson42]

Woo! New Episode!

[@xxNoFreeWillxx]

New* organelle!!! Hooray! (150million years old) lol

[@mercurywoodrose]

It’s just a BABY

I just ate some potato chips, and I formed a symbiotic partnership... I just became a coach potato

Thanks for the science! I hadn't known where chloroplasts came from before today (And I worship our new algal overlord)

[@sarcasm6669]

Yay new episode!🎉🎉🎉

[@spoookley]

maybe we need to look at the fungal side of lichens in order to take full advantage of this newly discovered advancement in evolution !

[@tomfoolery-4444]

I love your presentation and delivery. Subscribed!

[@UniversalDirp]

Wasn't this discovered decades ago?

[@DeLevely]

Yes and no! The nitrogen-fixing endosymbiont is comparatively old news (I found papers dating back at least to 2012, but quite possibly earlier as well). What's new here are findings that support calling this a true "organelle" rather than just "an intracellular roommate who doesn't pay rent."

The title of the video made me laugh out loud 💀
