Buckelwal

大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。

Viridibacillus arenisosiは種名が示す通り砂質土壌から分離された芽胞形成細菌です。特徴的な楕円形の内生胞子を形成し、比較的栄養分の少ない砂質基質でも生育できる能力で区別されます。この好気性化学有機栄養菌は砂質陸上環境での有機物分解において役割を果たします。
