		Margulis went on to develop her Serial Endosymbiosis Theory, which attempted to trace the development of all creatures with nucleated cells, from yeasts to humans, to a series of genetic mergers between different kinds of organisms.
		Margulis reveals a hidden side of nature, in which microbes have generated most if not all of life's metabolic machinery, in which vastly different life-forms consort in a myriad of ways, and in which the acquisition of entire genomes provides the raw material for great evolutionary leaps.
		Margulis, with her symbiosis concept, is science's only significant spearhead on the creation of Darwinian evolutionary theory not strictly within the vague limits of Darwinian framework.

	Encyclopedia: Lynn Margulis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lynn Margulis (born 1938) is a biologist and a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
		Margulis follows the American biologist Ivan Wallin, who in 1927 was the first one to propose that bacteria may represent the fundamental cause of the "origin of species" (Darwin's unsolved mystery) and that the creation of a species may occur via endosymbiosis.
		Margulis believes that the presence of "extra" DNA in the cell is a fossil of an ancient evolutionary event: it testifies the fusion of at least two different kinds of organisms which together formed a "eukaryiotic" cell.

	Lynn Margulis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lynn Margulis (born 1938) is a biologist and University Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
		After the proposal of the endosymbiotic theory, Margulis predicted that if organelles were prokaryotic symbionts, then the organelles will have their own DNA that would be different from the DNA of the cell.
		Margulis was inducted into the World Academy of Art and Science, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences between 1995 and 1998.

	Grigory Margulis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gregori Aleksandrovich Margulis (first name often given as Gregory, Grigori or Grigory) (born February 24, 1946) is a mathematician known for his far-reaching work on lattices in Lie groups, and the introduction of methods from ergodic theory into diophantine approximation.
		This was a question that had been open for half a century, on which considerable progress had been made by the Hardy-Littlewood circle method; but to reduce the number of variables to the point of getting the best-possible results, the more structural methods from group theory proved decisive.
		In 2005, Margulis received the Wolf Prize for his contributions to lattice theory, and applications to ergodic theory, representation theory, number theory, combinatorics, and measure theory.

	Book review of Lynn Margulis
		Margulis' fundamental thesis is that our bodies are amalgams of several different strains of bacteria: endosymbiosis of bacteria is responsible for the creation of complex forms of life.
		Margulis noted that not all the DNA is contained in the nucleus of the cell.
		Margulis emphasizes that the Earth is still dominated by bacteria, which not only account for the vast majority of life, but also maintain the conditions for life on the planet.

		Margulis is internationally known for her research on the evolution of the small forms of life, including the role of bacteria in influencing and regulating biological processes and environmental conditions.
		Margulis is the leading proponent of the idea that symbiogenesis, the merger of previously independent life forms, is as important to the process of evolutionary change as the more prominent "survival of the fittest" doctrine of competition among organisms.
		Margulis is also a member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, holds six honorary doctorates from other universities, and is fluent in Spanish and French.

	The Serial Endosymbiosis Theory of Eukaryotic Evolution
		In 1981, Margulis published the first edition of her book entitled Symbiosis in Cell Evolution in which she proposed that eukaryotic cells originated as communities of interacting entities that joined together in a specific order.
		According to Bermudes and Margulis (1985), there is insufficient evidence to prove either direct filiation or the symbiotic hypothesis for the origin of undulipodia.
		Margulis tends to favor a process involving the combination of direct filiation and symbiosis as the source of the nucleated cell.

		Michod's talk was the perfect lead-in for the penultimate lecture of the conference by the acknowledged star of the weekend, Lynn Margulis, famous for her pioneering research on symbiogenesis.
		Margulis began graciously by acknowledging the conference hosts and saying, "This is the most wonderful conference I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of conferences." She then got to work, pronouncing the death of neo-Darwinism.
		The overall impression I received was that Margulis goes too far in her rejection of neo-Darwinism, but because she was right about the role of symbiogenesis in the origin of the first eukaryote cells, they are taking a wait-and-see approach.

		After explaining that syphilis is a syndrome caused by the ravages of the spirochete Treponema pallidum (the lively, corkscrew-shaped bacterium pictured at right), Margulis elaborates on her own recent research into spirochetes by weighing in on the long-running debate over Nietzsche's brain.
		Margulis believes it is, and as evidence points to studies of microbial mat samples taken from Eel Pond in Woods Hole and kept in a jar in a UMass-Amherst lab.
		Although no typical spirochetes were found in these samples, Margulis recounts, when food and water known to support spirochete activity were added to some samples, spirochetes that could only have been been lying dormant suddenly awoke from their slumber.

		Margulis, a well-known professor of botany at the University of Massachusetts, and her son, Sagan, who previously collaborated on other works (Origins of Sex; Microcosmos) present a wide-ranging compendium that samples key facets of biology in conjunction with philosophic ideas and historical perspectives.
		Margulis is decidedly not, for example, the flaming vitalist or Earth Mother worshipper that some have painted her as (due to her subscription to the "Gaia" hypothesis), and Richard Dawkins was much more modest in his conception of the "meme" than some of his successors (notably Susan Blackmore) have been.
		Margulis and her collaborators do an amazing job of assembling an understandable model of life using parts carefully selected from a vast body of biological knowledge.

		Lynn Margulis is an eminent American biologist, distinguished professor at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) and prolific author of accessible and readable books about life, the biology of sex, microbes and Gaia.
		Margulis has spent much of her professional life researching the microcosm of the smallest organisms on Earth, how they evolved and relate to one another.
		She portrays herself as a rebel from early in her career, arguing here that she was sceptical of "genes in the nucleus determin[ing] all the characteristics of plants and animals." Her misgivings received scant support, however, without a replacement thesis.

		Margulis (1981) goes on to state that a key component for the pro-SET argument is that a particular spirochete contains microtubules, composed of neat arrays of protein, in their protoplasmic cylinders.
		Margulis (1981) hypothesizes that in some cases the attached spirochete was actually drawn into the body of the host, motility lost, yet it still retained its ability to replicate.
		Margulis (1998) is optimistic that she will find a direct nucleic acid link to support the spirochete/undulipodium within the next ten years.
