Capítulo 203: Sol Three Hundred and Twenty-Six, The Flocking Amoeba

"Mutated bacteria?" Tang Yue took the petri dish from Tomcat. "You mean that they have mutated?"

"Bacteria are considered prokaryotes that lack full cellular structure. The stability of their DNA is relatively weak. Under the radiation on Mars, mutation is a common outcome… I've been rearing these bacteria for some time. I dare say that every time they replicate, there will be a mutation." Tomcat nodded. "However, most of the mutations lead to a dead end. Gene mutation is like shooting with your eyes blindfolded. It's very rare to hit the target."

Tang Yue curiously observed the mutated bacteria in the petri dish. The bacterial colony was a dark-colored oval with a smooth surface. He didn't know which bacteria it mutated from, but this was the first life he discovered to be born in a Martian environment—even if their parents came from Earth.

Mai Dong had already woken up and heard the conversation between Tang Yue and Tomcat.
