Salpingoeca rosetta

S. rosetta has been named for the rosette-shaped colonies formed by its cells. Recent studies show a bacterial sulfonolipid, called rosette inducing factor (RIF-1) produced by Algoriphagus machipongonensis triggers colony formation in S. rosetta.

gollark: They started a year ago having trouble with basic Python and now write decent C/assembly things.
gollark: HelloBoi is also a weirdly competent programmer.
gollark: Length-terminated string better.
gollark: It can use an optimized search process to try and find proofs if they exist, but otherwise it has to fallback to brute force, so your compiles can be fast iff your program is right.
gollark: The Macron compiler is somewhat slow as a result.
