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.

Stenotrophomonas terrae es una gammaproteobacteria gramnegativa de la familia Xanthomonadaceae, aislada de suelos. Es aerobia, movil y capaz de degradar una amplia gama de compuestos organicos, lo que refleja la versatilidad metabolica caracteristica de este genero. Algunas especies de Stenotrophomonas son patogenos oportunistas, mientras que otras se estudian por su potencial en biorremediacion.
