Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Thermomonas fusca is a moderately thermophilic, Gram-negative rod capable of growth at elevated temperatures. It has been isolated from warm environments including hot springs, compost, and thermally influenced soils. This aerobic chemoheterotroph breaks down organic matter under warm to hot environmental conditions.
