The Nitrocyte is a basic cell unlocked after completing "Slippery Slope".
Description[]
The Nitrocyte is a cell with 10 tufts. The tufts are actually parts of the Mandelbrot Set, a fractal (a figure with an infinite perimeter) well known in mathematics.
The Nitrocyte produces nitrates which can be absorbed by other cells it is connected to. Technically, this is achieved by fixing the Nitrocyte's nitrogen reserve level at 100%.
Nitrocytes don't secrete like Secrocytes do. Nitrates travel only inside of the cells through adhesin, so the Nitrocyte needs to be connected to the cell either directly or through other cells to function properly. Nitrocytes can't transfer nitrates through membrane contact.

Trivia[]
- It has parts that are not connected to the cell.
- It has a fractal.
