2 Figure 1 Comparing complex systems of ‘endosymbionts’ and ‘organelles’. Two false-colour transmission electron micrographs of complex associations involving four partners. To the left is a mealybug cell (red) inside of which lives mitochondria (purple), and Tremblaya (turquoise), inside of which lives Moranella (blue). To the right is the chlorarachniophyte Lotharella globosa, an amoeba (red) that has living within it mitochondria (purple), and a green algal endosymbiont (blue), which itself contains plastids derived from cyanobacteria (green).
