Ancestor	Bacterium parahalum
Descendants	No results

As the populations of Bacterium parahalum grew intraspecific competition become more and more intense. Individuals capable of producing more types enzymes were able to decompose flesh that others could not and eventually speciated. They were able to break down the proteins in muscals.

Originated in zone I1

Overall, Bacterium generalivorus is not too different from its ancestor; spending most of their time in the digestive tract of Spinomandrus rostrodontus or in decaying organic matter. When they get excreted or their host dies, they will find something to latch onto and decompose until a new host ingests them. The main difference from their ancestors is the inclusion of dead non-sukapod muscals in their diet. To get this done it has modified some of its existing enzymes to tackle non-sukapod muscals.
Their reproductive methods are pretty much unchanged from their ancestors, except slightly slowed down, with a division occurring every 4-6 seconds rather than 2.
