== Description ==
Bacteria appear as pattered mats at close range, but look like dark puddles from ~200m away. They do not protrude above the terrain and hence are not illuminated by Night Vision. They appear on flat ground: most commonly next to craters, but also in the middle of plains and hilly terrain.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/123enkb/exobiology_a_2023_updated_guide/</ref>

Bacterium can be very hard to find, as it tends to blend into the terrain. A good trick is to use the [[Camera suite|free cam]] on an [[SRV]] to get a bird's-eye view of the area while driving, and patches of Bacterium should stick out like a sore thumb. Searching at night is not recommended because patches of Bacterium do not show up on night vision.

Bacterium Alcyoneum - Green

True unicellular extremophiles capable of living in the full spectrum of temperatures, chemical soups and atmospheres. They form a kaleidoscopic range of patterns and colours based on their method of metabolism. They derive energy from photosynthetic, chemosynthetic or thermosynthetic processes. There are believed to be the precursors for many life forms, and are often found in conjunction with other species. Links between the biochemistry of bacterial colonies and neighbouring organisms are likely but as yet unproven.

— In-Game Description

Bacterium are a species of alien organism found on planets and moons with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the Genetic Sampler and scanned with the Short Range Composition Scanner for a reward voucher of 2,500 credits.

Description

Bacteria appear as pattered mats at close range, but look like dark puddles from ~200m away. They do not protrude above the terrain and hence are not illuminated by Night Vision. They appear on flat ground: most commonly next to craters, but also in the middle of plains and hilly terrain.[1]

Types
