I’m not a biologist but there is no way in hell that a virus can be as big as a living organism right? That’s probably not a bacteriophage
Definitely not, a bacteriophage is like 500 nanometres. A tardigrade is 0.5 mm, or 500 000 nanometres, literally 1000x the size.
I am a microbiologist, there’s no way in hell that’s a virus.
Edit: it’s probably a radiolarian skeleton, maybe genus cornutella.
Edit 2: it’s indeed a cornutella skeleton: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12782032
