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.

Xanthomonas campestris es un patógeno vegetal gramnegativo, con forma de bastón, más notable como agente causal de la podredumbre negra en crucíferas, incluyendo col y brócoli. Produce la exopolisacárido comercialmente valiosa goma xantana y habita el tejido vascular de plantas infectadas en todo el mundo. Esta bacteria aerobia se dispersa a través de semillas infectadas, salpicaduras de lluvia y herramientas contaminadas.
