Either the purple bacteria have acquired the photosynthesis genes recently by lateralgene transfer or selective pressure forced various species to retain these organizational patterns. Lateralgene transfer as we know it today presupposes significant similarities in the genomes of the microbes involved. Lateralgene transfer involves the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another without replication or reproduction. Lateralgene transfer is known to have played a significant role in the evolution of microbes. Widespread distribution of archaeal reverse gyrase in thermophilic bacteria suggests a complex history of vertical inheritance and lateralgene transfers. Lateralgene transfer contrasts with vertical ('normal') transfer, which is what happens when genes are transferred from parent to offspring. Therefore, the enzyme must have been distributed among bacteria through lateralgene transfer. Another hypothetical objection that might be raised against the possibility of novel forms of life, descended from an alternative origin of life, has to do with lateralgene transfer. If explanations of such phenomena from the perspective of lateralgene transfer can be discounted, then such phenomena may support retention of ancient eukaryote nuclear lineage genes. Both gene duplication and lateralgene transfer have the capacity to bring about relatively large changes that are saltational.

This uncertainty was due to the lack of distinctive structures in most bacteria, as well as lateralgene transfer between unrelated species. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. By comparing large numbers of genes or entire genomes among many species, the genes acquired through lateralgene transfer become more evident. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. Due to lateralgene transfer, some closely related bacteria can have very different morphologies and metabolisms.

This is most true of genetic material that is subject to lateralgene transfer and recombination, where different haplotype blocks can have different histories.

From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. This is because of lateralgene transfer, convergence, and varying rates of evolution for different genes. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. Insertions caused by horizontal or lateralgene transfer and gene duplication tend to involve transfer of large amounts of genetic material. From Wikipedia This example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license. The natural movement of genes across species, often called horizontal gene transfer or lateralgene transfer, can also occur with rice through gene transfer mediated by natural vectors.
