Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation T. lepidozioides shares secretion of microbe harboring mucilage with streptophyte algae.
- Observation T. lepidozioides has genes indicating nitrogen fixation.
- Observation Takakia root analogs produce lateral mucilage organs more complex than previously understood.
- Observation Takakia lateral mucilage organs contain intracellular microbes.
- Observation Takakia has structural and metagenomic evidence of mycorrhiza like glomalean fungi including Rhizophagus irregularis.
- Observation Takakia also has evidence of associated ascomycete fungi such as Rhizoscyphus ericae.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that the Takakia microbiome may indicate features of early land plants.
