Actomyosin is a complex of Actin and Myosin proteins that uses ATP 
for a strong increase in movement and turning speed. Only one can be placed in each cell.
Requirements
If organelle unlocks are enabled in game settings, at least one of the following condition must be true for the player cell:
- Has speed below 15.
Processes
No processes.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
Each cell with Actomyosin increases the speed of the colony by 25%, as well as improving turning speed by 25%. While moving, each actomyosin consumes ATP .
Increases maximum Pressure Tolerance by 1 kPa.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
Actomyosin has the potential to greatly improve the mobility of larger Multicellular Species. Since only one can be placed per cell, increasing cell specialization and adjacency bonuses is the only way to improve the speed you get per cell.
Scientific Background
Actin and Myosin are proteins found in eukaryotic cells, where they contract to produce force. This happens by actin molecules "walking along" the myosin molecules, consuming energy in the form of ATP to do so. This principle is what powers all muscles.
The particular arrangement of actin and myosin proteins represented by the Actomyosin cell part is found in simple muscle cells, such as smooth muscle. The bundles of actin and myosin proteins criss-cross the cell, tied together by so-called dense bodies. As the network is attached to the cell membrane, its contraction results in the contraction of the whole cell, pulling also on the structures outside the cell.
