A bacteria visible to the naked eye ! Will the horrors never cease ?!

A team of scientists discovered a macroscopic species of bacterium living in the waters off Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. The bacterium is named Thiomargarita (sulfur pearl) magnifica, and it is so large that its single cells are visible to the naked eye. T. magnifica's genetic information is stored in a series of vesicles called pepins, which are strung along the creature’s length. The research team sequenced and analyzed the genome of T. magnifica and revealed how the bacterium reproduces: one end of the elongated bacterium constricts, splitting the T. magnifica cell in two. The true habitat range of T. magnifica is unknown. So far, it’s only been found in a couple of sites in Guadeloupe’s mangrove swamps.
