The Rag Pet Adoption Service
The Royerson Siblings(list of names provided upon adoption)
Myxococcus Bacillus
The Royersons are a very closely knit family of gliding bacteria. They do EVERYTHING together. Reproduce..., you name it. (They reproduce asexually so there's no need to be bashful). Sometimes you can't even tell them apart! Not that they don't all have their own unique personalities. In fact, the elongated rods with tapered end secrete polysaccharide trails!
They prefer to live on organic-rich, alkaline surfaces like dung or topsoil. And what a joy they are! Watching them glide across a slime trail is really something. They've been with us since late May when they just showed up on a plate of agar.
Keep in mind that the Royersons are a family and will only be adopted out to a family that can take all of them.
Please limit Myxococcus' food supply. Unlimited food will cause the colony to grow to 30 times larger than the sun.
