9 Membrageomus

Name: Membrageomus Ancestor: Ferruwall Description: Adds different ferrous-sulphur components and other components to the ferrous-sulphur precipitate particle over time in a slow, additive process by replicating itself or replicating small parts of itself. This makes the membrane thicker and more like a shell. Since it builds in a crystalline process, it takes on a geometric form. The components selected for this group of organism's survival are longer chain polymers that have folded into shapes that make the structure of the shell functionally porous 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
