Spirillum Volutans is an amazing bacteria that uses it's energy to spread nutrients throughout a rats body, and through whatever organism it's injected in. The energy used spitting out nutrients rotates the spirillum, spinning them while using their two flagella to turn. 

     They have a deep colored tinge on their outer layer, and have a small size of only 5 to 8 μm (micrometres) in width and a size of 60 μm long. For a description of that in our everyday terms, a micrometre is 10^ -6 of a metre (or meter in America).

     Intrestingly enough, staining one of these bacteria causes their flagella to either dissolve or disappear entirely.

     Spirillum Volutans, while well known as rat poison or infections, also live in the ocean, or other wet habitats, and are abundantly found near the Atlantic and Pacific.

     These bacteria cannot survive in extreme environments, unlike their Archaebacteria counterparts, and have taken a few million years to adapt to one of the earlier evolutions of rats. 

     Other than poisoning us with their unnourishing nourishments, spirillum volutans live comfortably within a rat, and pretty much fund that rats nutrient economy so to speak.

     Spirillum Volutans grows only under microaerobic conditions in a peptone-succinate-salts broth, but can grow aerobically when the peptone is replaced by vitamin-free acid-hydrolyzed casein broth.

     Furthermore, Spirillum Volutans is a consumer, and eats it's way to recieving energy. It then uses that energy in whatever way it pleases. It also is a prokaryote allowing for some leeway

     This bacteria goes through binary fission to create more of it's kind. This process is where a new bacteria physically grows on this bacteria and then breaks off through movement of the original bacteria.

     Spirillum Volutans in other words is a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles.
