Complex life on Earth evolved from simpler unicellular microorganisms. Recent studies identified the Asgard archaea as the closest microbial relatives of complex cellular life forms. This proposal is set out to study the physiology and cell biology of Asgard archaea to gain insights into the emergence of complex cellular life.
