by Jan Tachezy (Editor)

“Hydrogenosomes and Mitosomes: Mitochondria of Anaerobic Eukaryotes” provides a summary of the current knowledge of these organelles which occur in unicellular, often parasitic organisms, including human pathogens. These organelles exhibit a variety of structures and functions. This work describes properties such as protein import, structure, metabolism, adaptation, proteome and their role in drug activation and resistance. Further topics include organelle evolution and biogenesis.
