“The identification of these gigantic cells in one of the deepest marine environments on the planet opens up a whole new habitat for further study of biodiversity, biotechnological potential and extreme environment adaptation.”
Then I’ll make sure not to try to site a business anywhere near them.

they are just a bunch of happy amoebas.

They call them Giant, but they don’t give us a size? Are they big enough to eat a salmon, or big enough to eat a Destroyer?

It is one of my wonders why land animals were as big as they were; intuitively it would be assumed larger cells were in affect.

Yep, I looked for a size, too.
Nanometers to lightyears, I've got a converter to something I can understand.
I did hear that it moves almost one furlong per fortnight.

Kind of interesting to learn that amoebas communicate with each other and will sacrifice themselves as a group to make a ‘stalk’ so some of the genetics survives when rations become short. When Einstein learned of this, he was astonished.

Yep, I looked for a size, too. IIRC, the giant amoeba that ate the Enterprise was 11,000 miles across.
