    Tiny Microbe Challenges Definition of Life

    Scientists found a new microbe, Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, with a very small genome. It makes us rethink what life is and how viruses might start.

    A new microbe called Sukunaarchaeum mirabile has been found with a genome less than half the size of other known microbes. This discovery is making scientists question what 'life' really means.

    #Microbe with bizarrely tiny #genome may be evolving into a #virus
    The newly discovered microbe provisionally known as #Sukunaarchaeum isn’t a virus. But like viruses, it seemingly has one purpose: to make more of itself. Most of Sukunaarchaeum’s mere 189 protein-coding genes are focused on replicating its own genome; it must steal everything else it needs from its host Citharistes regius, a dinoflagellate.
