Maybe you mean facultative anaerobic in the sense that the host had peroxisomes in order to prevent itself to the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species.

Well, it's apparently still quite mysterious where peroxisomes came from, but de Duve (2007) argues that they predate mitochondria.

The original "slave" might have been photosynthetic, while the "host" might have been a facultative aerobe thanks to peroxisomes.

The host (facultative aerobe implies facultative anaerobe, doesn't it?) could handle aerobic conditions already, presumably because it had peroxisomes as oxygen sink. t's funny that you mention peroxisomes, as people once thought they were endosymbionts but now evidence seems to point to en origin from the ER.
