Ventricapillus jurvus

From OurFoodChain

As Ventricapillus saccharovorum spread in zone C, some members of the species ended up outside of Woramus dontria, most found a new host or died while some ended up in zone 22. Zone 22 lacked a decomposer so it is full of decaying polyph and muscal matter that V. saccharovorum could break down for sugars. Those that ended up in zone 22 became Ventricapillus jurvus.

Like its ancestor, it has a cell membrane, cell wall, and cell capsule to protect from changes in the environment. Its genetic material is in a single strand throughout the cytoplasm. It is about 5μm. It retains the flagella of its ancestor but they have become shorter because there is less need to move because of the great amount of detritus present. The most major change is that V. jurvus releases enzymes and the weak acid from its hairs to break down the detritus it lives in.

It reproduces the same as its ancestor, by duplicating genetic material and splitting. They reproduce at a more consistent rate of once every 40 minutes due to the more consistent food source.
