Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic endosymbiosis increased horizontal gene transfer. Symbiosis is an important evolutionary concept since it works as efficiently as an ongoing cooperation it is a major driving force behind evolution. 

Dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase and the pentameric, archaeal riboflavin synthase appear to have diverged from a common ancestor at an early time point in the evolution of Archaea. Genes that may specify riboflavin synthases of the eubacterial type in a few Archaea may have been acquired relatively recently by horizontal gene transfer.
