Re: thank_you newport

Thanks Apxer, you keep me on my toes--I like that. So, you say there are other organisms which display these qualities? Please tell me what you found! I have been trying to track bacteria with this distinction for some time now.
Other than marine-type bacteria, and some rare exotic macro-bacteria, I have found nothing at all which comes close.

This is what I know of this variety so far: it is always accompanied by e coli bactera {common type} it "builds" from smaller rod-types {also always present} it differentiates into numerous forms once mature. The average bacteria starts as a very thin thread, which is half the width of the e-coli, then grows about 500 times as long. In the larger ones, it can reach over a mm in length. There is no organelles at all. No nucleus is visable, and the "string" is a greenish glow, as would be seen in PH neutral organisms. There is no distinct "ends" it is as if it were a very thin thread--that it. In other types which start off with the same process, they become fat in some areas, and super thin in others. This fluctuates along the entire length--and there is a obvious vibratory movement taking place at various intervals. I have to gather more observations to see if these things are related to other large organisms which develope in the culture. These are almost visable with naked eye, and are a twisted mass which resemble a tree branch with gnaralled ivy vines growing around the body. There are also "spined-like" protrubrances which look like mite legs. Very strange indeed.

This is why I suspect elements of genetic tapering at the root of some of this.
