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.
Rhizobium wenxiniae es una bacteria gramnegativa fijadora de nitrogeno de la familia Rhizobiaceae, capaz de formar nodulos simbiologicos en raices de plantas leguminosas. Habita suelos y ambientes rizosfericicos donde fija nitrogeno atmosferico a cambio de carbohidratos suministrados por la planta hospedadora. Esta especie contribuye a la fertilidad del suelo y es relevante para practicas agricolas sostenibles.
