A type of bacteria called multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB) has a peculiar way of grouping.
MMB orients itself and knows where to be based on the Earth 's magnetic poles.
The existence of MMB suggests they may be caught in one of the "bottlenecks" of life formation on Earth .
MMB consortia may mirror the different jobs cells have in the human body, Hatzenpichler said.
More studies are needed to see if there is such a "mutually exclusive" relationship with MMB .
"We're not there yet, but I think this is basically where the research is going now," he said.
