African elephant

地球上最大の陸上動物であるアフリカゾウは体重7,000 kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナ、森林、湿地に生息する。成熟した雌が群れを率いる高度に知的な社会構造を持ち、超低周波音やうなり声、接触によって意思疎通する。木を引き倒したり水飲み場を掘ったり種子を散布したりすることで生態系を形成するエンジニア種だが、象牙の密猟や生息地の喪失により個体数は減少しており、危急(VU)とされている。

Micromonospora halotolerans は単一胞子を持つオレンジ-褐色の気菌糸を形成する耐塩性糸状放線菌です。海岸土壌、塩水堆積物、塩生植物関連環境に生息します。この化学有機栄養体は複雑な多糖類やその他の有機基質を分解し、抗生物質を含む生理活性二次代謝産物を産生します。
