Someone said that they had seen a recent article in the New Scientist dealing with a bacterium which was visible by the naked (unclothed) eye. If anyone can supply me the citation, I will email you a danke schoen. -- Dizzy Dan ddiaz@cwru.bitnet bl275@cleveland.freenet.edu Department of Molecular Genetics - Albert Einstein College of Medicine "Dissertations are useless, archaic documents which will be elimated as soon as I have defended mine"

Although not what you asked for, there is an organism called acetabuleria (sp?) which is monocellular and about two inches long. It looks like a small mushroom, but I think it is a marine organism. I think I remember reading an article in _Scientific_American_ on this, published back in the 1950's or so.

I don't know the citation, but it IS a bacterium (found in a sturgeon) and it was pulled out by Norm Pace's lab. Science made a passing reference to it a while back also.
