ルリコンゴウインコ

アオコンゴウインコ(Ara ararauna)は最も印象的で広く飼育されているコンゴウインコの一種で、鮮やかなコバルトブルーの上面と活き活きとした黄色い下面、緑の額が美しいコントラストをなします。東パナマからベネズエラ、ブラジル、ボリビア、ペルー、エクアドルにかけての森林、林地、サバンナに生息します。高い知性を持ち、ペアや小群でヤシの実、種子、果実を食べます。400年以上にわたり飼鳥として人気があり、飼育環境では80年以上生存します。

Clitopilus passeckerianus is a white-rot agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae notable for its role as a natural producer of pleuromutilin, a diterpenoid antibiotic compound that serves as the biosynthetic precursor for the veterinary and human antibiotic drugs tiamulin and valnemulin, used to treat Mycoplasma infections in livestock. First described from European woodland habitats, the species produces the characteristic Clitopilus fruiting body: a pale, whitish cap with decurrent, crowded gills becoming pinkish at maturity from angular spores, and a farinaceous odor. Its antibiotic-producing capacity makes C. passeckerianus of significant pharmaceutical interest, and biosynthetic studies of pleuromutilin production have informed synthetic chemistry approaches to antibiotic development. The species inhabits temperate deciduous woodland floors in Europe, fruiting in autumn among leaf litter. Discovery of its pleuromutilin biosynthetic pathway has opened avenues for heterologous expression and semi-synthetic modification aimed at developing novel antibiotics to counter antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens.
