Iron bacteria is an item that can be harvested from iron stromatolites. It spoils rather quickly, rotting into iron ore on spoilage. It is the only method of obtaining iron natively on Gleba.

Notes:

• Productivity outputs for bacteria cultivation are 4 bacteria rather than the usual net gain used by catalytic recipes. This means that if you set a Stack inserter's hand size to 4 (and filter it on just bacteria), it will make full stacks of bacteria.
• When produced in a Biochamber one nutrient is also consumed per 4 seconds instead of the power used by assemblers.
