Primakaryota

Primakaryota (early or first cores) first spawned in the Oxidean Era , around 300 mya after the glaciation period ended. All of them are descendants of Corticeans , and mostly evolved via lateral gene transfer, symbiosis and parasitism. They can be grouped in four super-groups.  
  • Flagellata : Heterotrophic predators, which are highly mobile and posses early sensory organs to make out light, movement and chemical composition in the water around them. They also have contractile vacuoles to pump out excess water.
  • Piliata : Autotrophic organisms, which are mostly mobile. They use photosynthesis as means to gain energy and possess light-sensitve organs and chemo-receptors as well as long filaments resembeling pili to anker themselves in favorable postitions.
  • Opportunista : Mixotrophic organisms, which are not able to swim acively, but crawl on the ground or drift with the currents. They can freely switch between feeding on light or feeding on other cells. Their sensory organs only detect changes in pressure and chemical composition, but they don't have light sensitive spots. The mixotrophs all possess two nuclei, one with RNA- and one with DNA-strings.
  • Fures : Parasitic organisms. They can move around and feed on small particles, but lost the ability to reproduce on their own. They possess a nucleus, which contains the cells DNA, as well as free strings of RNA, which mostly codes the cells coting proteins. They use their cilii to hold on to potential hosts, while they merge with them to take over their reproduction organells.
  Other than those there are still types of deep-sea, chemotrophic Corticeans around, as well as phototrophic hybrides of Corticena Timmii and Corticena Georgii . Those are hunted by Flagellata, some Fures and Opportunista and occasionally move on to symbiotic relationships with the predatory cells or hybridize with Fures.
