Finally, complex life in Australia 😂
Am I the only one who physically waves goodbye to Anton at the end of videos?😂❤. Love you, Anton!
When a tiny microbe and an unusual archaea love each other very much...
Human beings are the survival strategy of a mitochondrion.
I lived in Shark Bay when I was a child for a while.... I remember my father showing me the stromatolites.
cooperation instead of competition is the biggest insight, whoever thought life is about competition was the competitive minded one.
“Except in the Shakespearean version, they both die”. 😂 A rare joke from Anton.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the search for LUCA cells. In the 1980s, my undergrade degree was Biochemistry (now called Molecular Biology) Around 40 years ago I did research on Protein Purification, which was much harder then. My Professor was interested mainly in 1 carbon transfer enzyme systems. My project was a try and purify an enjyme from a bacteria in Legume Plant root nodules which convert atmospheric Nitrogen into a bioavailable form for the plants.
3:28 "you can learn about the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, in the American school system"
For those that need context: The video notes several limitations and challenges regarding the study of these microbes: • Difficulty in cultivation: Asgard archaea are described as being "incredibly difficult to study in the lab" primarily because they grow very slowly and rely on other organisms for survival, which made much of the earlier research on their relationship with bacteria purely hypothetical (4:24 - 4:37). • Nature of the evidence: While the new 3D imaging provided a "visual model" of the interaction, the speaker acknowledges that broader theories regarding where and how this life began—such as the role of asteroid impacts or specific hydrothermal environments—remain "very hypothetical" and are currently based on "mathematical models and theoretical predictions, not actual physical observations" (9:17 - 9:28).
