Mikko TuomiPrototaxites represents the first giant organisms to live on the terrestrial surface, reaching sizes of 8 metres in the Early Devonian.It was an extinct lineage of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/multicellular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#multicellular</a> terrestrial <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/eukaryotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eukaryotes</a>.Assignments to groups of multicellular algae or land plants have been repeatedly ruled out leaving two major alternatives: <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Prototaxites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Prototaxites</a> was either a <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/fungus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungus</a> or a now entirely extinct lineage.The latter hypothesis seems more plausible based on nrw evidence.<a href="https://astrobiology.com/2025/03/ancient-prototaxites-dont-belong-to-any-living-lineage-possibly-a-distinct-branch-of-multicellular-earth-life.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://astrobiology.com/2025/03/ancient-prototaxites-dont-belong-to-any-living-lineage-possibly-a-distinct-branch-of-multicellular-earth-life.html</a>

FungiApeFungi are eukaryotes, meaning their cells have a defined nucleus containing their genetic material. Unlike prokaryotes (such as bacteria), fungi also have other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. This makes them more complex than prokaryotes at the cellular level. Fungi include organisms like mushrooms, yeasts, and molds, which play essential roles in ecosystems as decomposers. 🍄 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fungi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Eukaryotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eukaryotes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biology</a> <a href="https://fungiape.com/is-fungi-prokaryote-or-eukaryote/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fungiape.com/is-fungi-prokaryote-or-eukaryote/</a>

Frank AylwardHappy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.<a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.04.22.590592v1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.04.22.590592v1</a> This is a controversial topic, but we believe we have strong evidence to suggest a critical viral role in eukaryogenesis. <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/viruses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#viruses</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/protists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protists</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/eukaryotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eukaryotes</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/evolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evolution</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/TreeOfLIfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TreeOfLIfe</a> <a href="https://genomic.social/tags/archaea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archaea</a>
