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 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.
