8 Membrafluidus

Name: Membrafluidus
Ancestor: Ferruwall
Description: Adds different ferrous-sulphur components and other components to the more rigid ferrous-sulphur precipitate particle over time in a slow, additive process by replicating itself or replicating small parts of itself. This makes the membrane more fluid and easier for self-replicators to disperse across the membrane.
Food: Environmental nucleotides, amino acids and other inoganic and organic material
Metabolism: Chemolithotrophic
Reproduction: Replication via inverse translation
Optimal Ambient Temperature: 290°C
Regions: Deep hydrothermal vent
