How to play
Tap it to make it divide in two. Try the Swim slider in the Splash tab.
Notes
This one is rod-shaped, with long whips called flagella that spin like propellers to push it along. Most bacteria are harmless, and many help us, like the ones in our gut that help digest food.
Tap it and it divides in two, as bacteria do: it pinches in at the middle as a new wall closes across it, its DNA is shared between the halves, and the two cells come apart. Then the splash slides them back together. Some bacteria can divide every 20 minutes. Swim controls its swimming motion and Color sets its tint.
