Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.

Planomicrobium psychrophilum es un coco movil adaptado al frio, capaz de crecer a bajas temperaturas, lo que lo hace idoneo para entornos frios. Ha sido aislado en suelos polares y alpinos, agua de mar fria y ambientes refrigerados de todo el mundo. Esta bacteria psicrofilica descompone materia organica a temperaturas cercanas al punto de congelacion.
