My bad. I meant the "lethal" in the title. Title makes it sound as if a deadly pandemic happens if that lake thaws.

single-celled photosynthetic bacterium

Bacteria are always single-celled, and quite frankly, I don't know why the ones in question are such a big deal, there are plenty of prokaryotes that thrive under anaerobic conditions.

Having seen enough exceptions in biology, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone found a multicellular bacterial species that violates everything we know about bacteria. Biology is completely wild, and it’s really hard to come up with a rule or a category that always works and nobody has any problems with it.
