genetic engineering for fun

Instead of trying to one-up nature in productivity or resistivity or "improving" them, and besides the need of GE in medical research, I could think of better safer uses.

Take the largest bacteria known, unicellulars that can be about .3 .5 and .75 mm long, and find ways to induce gigantism in them so that we can have even bigger macroscopic samples of a unicellular organism. Thus which very cheap microsopes one can probe details of the cell.

Now if we can do the same for eukaryotic cells , and maybe induce an endosymbiosis we could grow gigantic samples of early unicellular algae, and take it from there.
