The worlds largest bacteria that can be seen with our naked eye is discovered !
Thiomargarita -The world’s largest known bacteria have been found in the tropical mangroves of Guadeloupe. Each bacterium is about a centimetre in length and has a structural complexity never seen before in bacteria with DNA contained in metabolically active, membrane-bound organelles.
Most bacteria are around two micrometres – 0.0002 centimetres – in length. Their size is limited by the fact that the energy-carrying molecules they use to power themselves are produced using enzymes embedded in the cell membrane. This means bacteria need to have a suitable surface-area-to- volume ratio to function. Growing bigger also limits how well they can move around.
