Clitopilus passeckerianus is a white-rot agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae notable for its role as a natural producer of pleuromutilin, a diterpenoid antibiotic compound that serves as the biosynthetic precursor for the veterinary and human antibiotic drugs tiamulin and valnemulin, used to treat Mycoplasma infections in livestock. First described from European woodland habitats, the species produces the characteristic Clitopilus fruiting body: a pale, whitish cap with decurrent, crowded gills becoming pinkish at maturity from angular spores, and a farinaceous odor. Its antibiotic-producing capacity makes C. passeckerianus of significant pharmaceutical interest, and biosynthetic studies of pleuromutilin production have informed synthetic chemistry approaches to antibiotic development. The species inhabits temperate deciduous woodland floors in Europe, fruiting in autumn among leaf litter. Discovery of its pleuromutilin biosynthetic pathway has opened avenues for heterologous expression and semi-synthetic modification aimed at developing novel antibiotics to counter antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens.

コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン（Aptenodytes forsteri）は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
