Scientists found the largest bacteria ever, and it’s the size of a fly
Biologists have discovered the largest bacterium ever, and you can see it with the naked eye. Researchers found the bacterium living in Caribbean mangroves. A single cell of its thread-like body, if you want to call it that, can grow up to 2 centimeters. That's about as long as a peanut, and around 5,000 times bigger than any other microbes we’ve discovered so far.
Scientists also believe it could be a missing link between single-cell organisms and the cells that make up the human body.
