The sea magneferrubiota guttoplaque replaced its ancestor the guttoplaque in the sea magneferrubiota species. Like its ancestor it helps in digestion. It also will absorb some of the iron its hosts eats to make a thicker cell membrane. The stomach acids of magneferrubiota are extreme since they have to absorb a lot of iron. They reproduce through mitosis.
