ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Clostridium celerecrescens is an anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium in the family Clostridiaceae whose species epithet celerecrescens reflects its notably rapid growth rate compared to many other clostridia, which typically grow more slowly under anaerobic conditions. It is found in anaerobic environments including soils, sediments, and the digestive tracts of animals where fermentation of carbohydrates and organic compounds occurs. Like all Clostridium species, it is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium capable of producing resistant endospores that permit survival under environmental stresses. The rapid growth phenotype of C. celerecrescens makes it of potential interest for industrial biotechnology applications where fast colonization and fermentation rates are advantageous, including in bioremediation of contaminated anaerobic environments or in bioprocessing systems designed to convert organic substrates into valuable products through anaerobic fermentation. The genus Clostridium represents one of the most metabolically diverse groups of bacteria, encompassing species producing ethanol, butanol, hydrogen gas, and various organic acids from diverse carbon sources.
