After a expelling themselves from a M. charcadontolosteus specimen’s digestive tract, Bacterium cyanus tried finding a sukapod to latch onto. However, a few of them accidentally latch onto a F. foliumegaeus specimen. Since they’re both sukapods with a similar exoskeleton, they stayed anyway and accompanied it to zone 7 where they ended up in the digestive tract of an S. neorhina. They stayed in the digestive tract, using chitinase to digest Foliumnymphyeus sp. They eventually went to inhabit the digestive tracts of other endoskeletal musculates.

Bacterium phytovora inhabits the digestive tracts of endoskeletal muscalates as well faceroglutinus’s which were also used as a jumping off point. The aquaplortatus sp. were also hard to digest so they’ve also developed enzymes used to digest the tough fibers and cellulose of those food items, helping the host digest them and offering them more nutrients. The enzymes in the stomachs were harsher than M. charcadontolosteus, due to digesting plant matter; as a result, they will drench themselves in proteins that acts as a buffer against enzymes. However, the are still vulnerable to the stomach enzymes at this point and will countinue to rapidly multiply in order perpetuate their presence within the digestive tract like their ancestor.

If food becomes unavailable, they will assume the host is dead and exit at either ends and either latch onto an aquaplortatus/foliumnympheus sp. and stay dormant or colonize dead plant matter and hope that it gets picked up by a scavenger/detritivore.
