New Bacteria Species Reaches Two Centimeters

Radio Mayak Moscow 17d17d Impact 5

Researchers have identified a unique blood group characterized by a specific genetic mutation. The diversity is attributed to the presence of multiple proteins and sugars on the surface of red blood cells. This diversity is driven by the specific combinations of these biological markers. The findings provide a more granular understanding of human hematology. Each individual cell measures more than one centimeter in length. This structure is significantly more complex than typical bacteria, which average two micrometers in size. The discovery follows over 10 years of specialist attention to these unique organisms. Scientists have identified a new species of bacteria named Thio margarita magnifica. The findings clarify that these are distinct, single-celled organisms rather than clusters. Individual specimens of this species have been observed reaching lengths of up to two centimeters.

Individual specimens of this species have been observed reaching lengths of up to two centimeters. Previously, scientists believed these large structures were complexes of multiple individual cells rather than single organisms. The bacteria species can access sulfur sources on the seabed and oxygen from above to produce energy.
