The prokaryote species, such as bacteria, are the simplest form of living organisms on Earth.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a prokaryote, a unicellular organism lacking membrane-bound nuclei.

This implies that, for the cell to gain mitochondria, it could not have been a eukaryote, and must have been a prokaryote.

These cells are about 15 times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as 1000 times greater in volume.

Is it a simplified version of a parasitic prokaryote, or did it originate as a simpler virus that acquired genes from its host?
From the en.wikipedia.org
Eukaryotes only appear in the fossil record later, and may have formed from endosymbiosis of multiple prokaryote ancestors.

- A unicellular organism having cells lacking membrane-bound nuclei; bacteria are the prime example but also included are blue-green algae and actinomycetes and mycoplasma
- (prokaryotic) having cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei
- An organism characterized by the absence of a nuclear membrane and by DNA that is not organized into chromosomes; in the two-empire system of biological taxonomy, an organism of the kingdom Prokaryotae (now superseded)
- (prokaryotes) organisms, namely bacteria and blue green algae, characterized by the lack of a distinct nucleus.
- (Prokaryotes) Organisms whose genetic material is not enclosed by a nucleus. The most common examples are bacteria.
- (prokaryotes) Simple organisms, such as bacteria, with no cell nuclei and only a few cell organelles.
- (prokaryotes) Organisms that do not have nuclei. This includes both bacteria and archaea, two distinct phylogenetic domains of life, and thus the term may represent a polyphyletic grouping of organisms.
- (Prokaryotes) the living things whose cells do not have nuclei; includes only single-celled bacteria.
- (prokaryotes) a cellular organism (as a bacterium or a blue-green alga) that does not have a distinct nucleus
