blue whale

地球上で生きたことが知られている最大の動物であるシロナガスクジラ(Balaenoptera musculus)は、体長33メートル、体重200トンに達することができ、心臓だけで小型自動車ほどの重さがあります。全ての海洋に生息し、極地の餌場と熱帯の繁殖地の間を回遊します。1日最大4トンのオキアミを摂取する濾過摂食者です。20世紀の捕鯨による絶滅危機からの回復後、世界的な個体数は10,000〜25,000頭と推定される絶滅危惧種です。

Lysobacter soliは種名が示すように土壌環境から分離されたグラム陰性滑走性細菌である。世界各地の多様な陸生土壌に生息し、細胞外分解酵素を産生する。この捕食性細菌は他の土壌微生物を溶菌することで栄養とエネルギーを得る。
