nanobes

(noun)

A tiny filamental structure that may or not be a living organism, and if living, would be the smallest form of life, 1/10 the size of the smallest known bacteria.

Examples of nanobes in the following topics:

  • Nanoarchaeum and Aciduliprofundum

    • Nanoarchaeum cells are only 400 nm in diameter, making it the next smallest known living organism to nanobacteria and nanobes, whose status as living organisms is controversial.
