Oso Polar

El mayor carnivoro terrestre de la Tierra, el oso polar puede superar los 700 kg y se encuentra en el hielo marino del Artico, desde Canada hasta Rusia. Es un mamifero marino altamente especializado que depende del hielo marino para cazar focas anilladas y barbadas. Excelente nadador capaz de cubrir grandes distancias en agua abierta. Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.

Stenotrophomonas indicatrix es una bacteria gramnegativa con forma de bastoncillo relacionada con el importante patogeno ambiental y oportunista Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Ha sido aislada de entornos edaficos y asociados a plantas. Este quimioheterotrofo aerobio degrada una amplia gama de compuestos organicos en habitats terrestres.
