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.

Vibrio mimicus es una varilla curvada gram-negativa estrechamente relacionada con Vibrio cholerae pero bioquímicamente distinta. Habita agua de mar costera, estuarios y mariscos en entornos marinos tropicales y subtropicales cálidos. Esta bacteria facultativamente anaerobia puede causar enfermedad gastrointestinal en humanos que consumen mariscos crudos contaminados.
