Preface
We were very pleased by the invitation of Springer-Verlag to prepare the second edition of the Microbiology Monographs volume Hydrogenosomes and Mitosomes: Mitochondria of Anaerobic Eukaryotes. First, it was a signal that the first edition was successful and interesting for readers in cell biology, parasitology, evolutionary biology, and other fields of biology as we hoped. Second, it provides us the opportunity to upgrade the first edition from 2008; there was a tremendous increase in knowledge about evolution, biogenesis, and function of mitochondria and their various anaerobic forms. New technologies, particularly in genomics and proteomics, allow a much more detailed analysis of hydrogenosomes and mitosomes to learn about their functions. For example, initial proteomic study identified only 61 proteins in hydrogenosomes of Trichomonas vaginalis in 2007, while about tenfold more proteins are known today. Moreover, various mitochondria that are adapted to ana
