Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指(橈側種子骨)を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急(VU)へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

Dyadobacter beijingensisはCytophagaceae科に属するグラム陰性好気性細菌で、中国・北京近郊の土壌から初めて分離されました。有機物の分解に関与する土壌環境に生息しています。他のDyadobacter種と同様に炭素循環に関与し、汚染土壌のバイオレメディエーションに潜在的に活用できます。
