Oxygen-binding proteins aid oxygen diffusion to enhance fitness of a yeast model of multicellularity.

Oxygen availability is a key factor in the evolution of multicellularity, as larger and more sophisticated organisms often require mechanisms allowing efficient oxygen delivery to their tissues. One such mechanism is the presence of oxygen-binding proteins, such as globins and hemerythrins, which ar...
