The little triangle guy in the back contamination figure reminds me of Haloarcula japonicus
Gram-negative, motile by flagella, triangular disk, ca. 2-5 µm x 0.2-0.5µm.
original discovery announcement, Takashina T et al (1990)
“I want to indicate an alien microbe,” I thought. “I’ll just draw something with a distinctly microbial feature but otherwise so weird there’s no way it could exist.” Archaea have shown me what for once again.
Thank you for introducing me to this odd fellow.
