Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

Exiguobacterium aestuariiは河口環境から分離されたグラム陽性細菌で、潮汐生息地の典型的な塩分と温度の変動条件に耐性を持ちます。有機物分解に参加する沿岸の干潟や河口の堆積物に生息します。この種は多様な環境に見られるストレス耐性のあるExiguobacterium属の特徴を持っています。
