The experts are correct – a minimum diameter of 30 nanometers is necessary for cell-walled bacteria to carry out “standard” metabolic functions, that is, bacteria as we know them. N. sanguineum is, of course, unique. It gets away with being “too small” by utilizing “primordial growth strategies” and by being parasitic in its nature. It can function with fewer enzymes and structural proteins, because it can use environmental minerals to catalyze its metabolic processes and provide it with structural support. It uses nutrients in its environment to live. It only “flourishes and lives” where it finds a hospitable environment, otherwise it remains dormant in a “spore-like” calcified form. It flourishes and lives well in the nutrient-rich soup that we call blood and urine.
