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。

Pseudoxanthomonas wuyuanensisは中国の婺源から最初に記載された桿状グラム陰性細菌である。土壌環境に生息し、この属に特徴的な黄色コロニーを形成する。この好気性化学有機栄養細菌は陸上土壌で有機化合物を分解し、地域の物質循環に貢献する。
