- Scientists have discovered the world's largest bacterium in the archipelago of Guadeloupe, a Caribbean mangrove swamp.
- It is in the form of white filaments, almost the size of human eyelashes.
- It is the first to be visible with naked eye.
- Usually, bacteria are so small that they can only be seen through a microscope.
- It is the biggest single-cell bacteria found up till now.
- It has a large vacuole.
- That allows some cell functions to happen in that controlled environment instead of throughout the cell.
