Finding bacteria could actually be much more useful than bigger species assuming we can't communicate, because manipulation is easier.
As (>>10484685) suggested, by analyzing the living microbe we could find it to secrete some sort of chemical we cannot yet produce and does not exist on earth, and it then could serve some purposes of enormous commercial impact for all that we know.
See, take diabetes mellitus, for instance, almost all of our insulin needed by people with diabetes nowadays is produced by bacteria.
Or, you know, beer and penicillin coming from fungi, which are much more complex, but you see my point.

Manipulating bacteria is an infringement of their rights. Why can't you just leave bacteria alone? Because they were born less intelligent than you?

It be great if they actually found some that went through rapid mutation and wiped out all of humanity. Truly an ironic twist

There's no such a thing as rights, silly. Only agreements.
I bet they're having plenty of fun reproducing whilst we supply them with food.

This is the worst thread in a long time. Usually this board has a sort of 'passive' bad about it, but this thread is a rare case of active bad.

This is Nasuverse where all planets have their own laws of physics?

Great, that sun's barely bigger than Jupiter, but it's close enough to stretch a quarter of the way across the sky on the object of interest. No more looking up, folks. That, or we get to shrink our eyes.

You know, contrary to your belief, it isn't easy to mash up atoms to your liking to create arbitrary chemicals, specially on industrial scale.
Finding someone else to produce it instead is a lot easier. We usually just take natural resources and study them instead of recreating compounds.

It's not exactly on scale. It just shows a comparison of sizes and distance proportions. It wouldn't fit otherwise.
