The sulfur sniffer split from its ancestor and now lives purely off of sulfates. Hydrogen sulfide is commonly produced in the sulfur reduction process, and thus during sulfur sniffer blooms the soil on Ramul Island gains a terrible rotten-egg smell. The sulfur sniffer has become much more efficient in the way it finds and consumes sulfates. At one end of the cell there is an oral groove to consume the sulfates, surrounded by dendrites that sense the sulfates. At the other end of the cell is a flagellum to help it get to its food faster. The oral groove can perform another life function, conjugation. Conjugation is when two of the cells exchange DNA, thus scrambling and spreading genetic code and improving the odds of evolution.
