Green Sea Turtle
La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.
Rhabdogloea gorskii es una cianobacteria colonial que forma celulas alargadas y en forma de bastoncillo dispuestas en una matriz mucilaginosa comun, dentro de las comunidades de plancton de agua dulce. Se encuentra en lagos y embalses de regiones templadas y contribuye a la diversidad del fitoplancton. Como otras cianobacterias, puede formar floraciones en condiciones eutróficas cuando los niveles de nutrientes y las temperaturas son elevados.
