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。

Novosphingobium rhizosphaerae は、種名が示すとおり植物根圏環境と関連するグラム陰性の好気性桿菌である。温帯土壌における様々な植物の根圏に生息する。この化学有機栄養菌は植物根圏での根滲出物と有機物を分解し、植物の栄養と健康に影響を与える可能性がある。
