Panda Gigante

El panda gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) es un animal emblemático de China, célebre por su pelaje blanco y negro y su dieta basada casi exclusivamente en bambú. Su estado de conservación es vulnerable (VU), es el animal bandera de la conservación internacional de la vida silvestre, y su población ha experimentado cierta recuperación en los últimos años.

Sphingobacterium yamdrokense es una varilla gramnegativa de pigmentación amarilla descrita por primera vez del lago Yamdrok en el Tíbet, China. Habita en sedimentos lacustres de alta altitud y ambientes de lagos fríos y alcalinos de la Meseta Tibetana. Este quimioheterótrofo aerobio está adaptado a las condiciones extremas de los lagos salinos de alta altitud.
