So to do for you @rrod497 is to rename this to bacteria and bacteria-off.

Yes, but also not quite: we should also consider alternative design ideas already present in #3760 for this use case, especially since:

  1. The designs proposed in this PR feature some guideline violations
  • the pili/cilia (see no. 3) should be grid-aligned
  • so should the 0.01px tall dots, otherwise they become very blurry
  • some cubic curves could to with better curvature
  1. IMO the "gap" in the outline is not very Lucide-ey in style
  2. The design features a clearly outlined nucleus, so we should probably consider naming any similar looking icon something appropriate of that (neither bacteria, nor any other prokaryotic organisms have distinct nuclei), maybe eukaryote?
