The largest known bacterium a vermicelli-shaped organism that was discovered in shallow mangrove swamps in the Caribbean and is big enough to be seen with the naked eye is redefining what is possible for bacteria, Earth’s most ancient life form.
The bacterium, called Thiomargarita magnifica, is noteworthy not merely for its size colossal for a single-celled organism at up to 2 cm long but also because its internal architecture is unlike other bacteria, Scientists said on Thursday.
The DNA, an organism’s blueprint, is not free-floating inside the cell as in most bacteria, but contained within numerous small membrane-bound
