While utterly fascinating, my inexperience self wonders how it’s going to be like if these microbes somehow interact with a modern organic being assuming a lot has changed in a billion years biologically. Torn between wanting to find out… and not wanting to open that pandora’s box.
They lived in the ocean and had no interactions with animals, so they probably wouldn’t have any way to hurt us. Our immune systems would destroy them like most of the other microbes we encounter every day. No need to worry!
I mean that’s kinda the entire point of microbes - evolve and change to suit the environment. Radically different environment = radically different bacteria and viruses.
