Internal Name rusticyanin

Transforms Iron iron into ATP atp by the process of Iron Chemolithoautotrophy. The rate of this reaction scales with the amount of Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide in the environment.

Requirements

No requirements.

Processes

Iron Chemolithoautotrophy: Iron iron + Carbon Dioxide carbondioxideATP atp

A method of generating energy without Glucose glucose. Consumes Iron iron and scales with the amount of environmental Carbon Dioxide carbondioxide.

Modifications

No modifications.

Effects

Evolving Rusticyanin equips a cell with the enzyme of the same name. This allows a cell to digest chunks of Iron iron in the environment.

Upgrades

No upgrades.

Strategy

Iron iron is a valuable alternative resource to use instead of Glucose glucose since it doesn't decay in the environment. Rust-eating cells are likely to enjoy plentiful nutrients in patches where Iron iron is abundant.

Ingesting Iron iron chunks may be tempting, but often you'll get more Iron iron by holding near a chunk as it produces more of the compound in cloud form.
