mutation: develop a mechanism to filter salt out of water to grow my own salt lenses instead of collecting freefloating crystals, reducing the time until my organism becomes able to begin photosynthesis
action: save up energy for later use

ROUND 5
As ecology continues to develop, the first glimpses of a defined food chain and multicellularity are appearing as well, these may soon start an arms race, leading to exponentially more complex creatures; but for now, they’re just better microbes than they were yesterday.
A few hours before this periodic ecosystem checkup, autonomous systems detected an unidentified object emerging at great speed from the northern polar regions, seemingly pulled by 9 smaller objects, one of which being particularily luminous around a 700 nanometer wavelength; it has sent a message and some remarkably complete survey data, both are now available in the “New data” section of the database.

“You’ve all been very good this year… er- geological eon? I’ve not had anyone to send gifts to for a very long time, so here’s some data I felt you could make use of, ho ho ho!”
[Unknown sender, plant fiber-graphite communication medium, scanning…]
There’s a long piece of paper in the cargo bay, seemingly containing the desires of every organism on the planet, can they even desire something? It doesn’t matter, this data will be valuable insight on how to further improve your organisms

Biome database
Sea surface: where this whole experiment began, this biome is has a relatively low salinity compared to the rest of the sea, it also gets somewhat illuminated at noon
Mediopelagic: the collective term that defines most of Earth’s new seas, stretches from the depth at which the sun’s light can no longer reach further nearly to the sea floor
Sedimentopelagic: a brine pool even by this world’s standards, not the true sea floor as salt becomes the main component instead of water before you can reach actual rock; however if you can surive most of the sea’s salt, you’ll be rewarded with most of every other non-organic compound the sea has accumulated

m1: proteins to stab through membranes to move proteins through them, namely the nanowire stitching proteins and themselves, which keep open the hole connecting the cytoplasm allowing nutrient transfer between cells, and among bulla tonitrui cells, electricity transfer as well due to nanowires getting connected to circuits in cells other than the one they formed in.
M2: outer membrane which is unstable enough to fuse with other membranes of the same type, allowing the salt lenses to be kept in an area they won’t grow or dissolve and allowing higher water concentration inside the cytoplasm while still allowing bulla tonitrui cells to make the same shape. all the same proteins still exist within this membrane but little to no RNA is contained in the intermembrane space at the moment.
A: bulla tonitrui cells now make bigger structures to focus more light onto a larger area, and recently colonies have been engulfing cells of other species fairly often, leading to the ones who engulfed Obscurus Megaminutia cells being more successful as they can digest the cells from outside of their species that they ingest (bulla tonitrui cells just combine their outer membrane wit the rest of the colony’s outer membrane while other species’ of cells just get a ‘vacuole’ around them from not having an outer membrane to fuse with the colony’s, but without lysosomes the cells in the vacuole just stay there)

the endoplasmatic reticulum is mainly used by an advanced cell to create smaller membranes withis itself for storage and transport, it’s also a requisite to build and maintain membranous organelles

I think quorum sensing is supposed to be this:

like he showed, quorum sensing its a why to bacterium to communicate base on they pop size and act differently, like the bacterium in some squid in high density they glow in biolominasize but only if they have enough high pop in a eria
its also know as part of biofilm formasen
