This transition from endosymbiosis to organelle has happened notably a few times in evolutionarily history: 2.2 billion years ago a single-celled organism swallowed up a bacterium that became mitochondria and later some cells absorbed cyanobacteria, resulting in chloroplasts.

Nitrogen-fixing organelle in a marine alga Symbiotic interactions were key to the evolution of chloroplast and mitochondria organelles, which mediate carbon and energy metabolism in eukaryotes. Biological nitrogen fixation, the reduction of ab...

Recent research has shown that a particular algae has recently merged with a cyanobacteria (effectively making it an organelle) to allow it to fix nitrogen.

Emergence of fractal geometries in the evolution of a metabolic enzyme - Nature Citrate synthase from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus is shown to self-assemble into SierpiΕ„ski triangles, a finding that opens up the possibility that other naturally occurring molecular-s...

The asymmetric assembly of a particular enzyme used in the Krebs cycle in this bacteria forms a SierpiΕ„ski triangle (aka a repeating triforce, to Zelda fans). Cool!
