Abstract
Konstantin Mereschkowsky suggested that the plastids originate from symbiotic cyanobacteria, and the nucleus has also originated from an endosymbiont. The hypothesis of nuclear symbiogenesis was not discussed till 1980ies. Later (Gupta et al.,1994;. Lopez-Garcia, Moreira, 2001) the data were obtained in favor of the hypothesis that the nucleus originated from an archaean captured to become an endosymbiont of a bacterial host. Short biography of Konstantin Mereschkowsky is included.
