More than likely, he is referring to the theory that Eukaryotic cells like ours took on a simbiotic relationship with a rod like bacteria to create Mitochondria. Mitochondria are the organelles that efficiently produce ATP (Cell energy). Mitochondria have distinct DNA from the cell they inhabit and have a distinct bacteria like stucture. They also have the ability to reproduce on their own within the cell when higher energy production is necessary.
