It’s French from 400 years ago heh 🤷‍♀️😊

We have the same questions! I imagine it could have been beneficial for some of the ancestors to become mutators. I'd love to compare genome stability across the different lineages 🤓

The fatty acid synthase was lost at the origin of the Glomeromycotina lineage. All species have delta, and only the Glomeraceae family lost epsilon

Thank you, and yes, l'd love to find out if delta is compensating! I also wonder how cell cycle entry is regulated. I suspect carbon and phosphate availability are key, which is interesting to think about given their reliance on hosts for fatty acids, and that their 'job' is to mine Pi from the soil
