Golden Eagle

Among the most powerful and widely distributed raptors in the world, golden eagles have wingspans reaching 2.2 meters and inhabit mountainous terrain across the Northern Hemisphere. Supreme aerial hunters, they use soaring flight and steep dives at speeds over 200 km/h to capture rabbits, hares, ground squirrels, and occasionally young deer and foxes. In many cultures they have been central to falconry traditions spanning millennia.

Sphingobium amiense is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the ability to degrade nonylphenol and related endocrine-disrupting compounds. It has been isolated from activated sludge and polluted soil environments. This bacterium plays a role in the degradation of synthetic surfactants and phenolic pollutants in wastewater treatment systems.
