Cobetia crustatorum is a halophilic gram-negative bacterium in the family Halomonadaceae, closely related to other salt-tolerant members of the genus Cobetia. This aerobic, chemoorganotrophic organism was originally described from saline crustacean-associated environments, with its species epithet 'crustatorum' referring to its association with crustaceans. Like its congeners, C. crustatorum is adapted to thrive in environments with sodium chloride concentrations well above those tolerable by most mesophilic bacteria, typically growing optimally at 5–15% NaCl. The organism exhibits the characteristic gram-negative cell wall architecture and typically appears as short rods or ovoid cells under microscopy. Cobetia crustatorum has been documented from coastal Taiwanese marine habitats, where it participates in the decomposition of organic materials in saline sediments and associated with marine invertebrates. It produces extremolytes such as ectoine that protect cellular machinery from osmotic stress and desiccation. The organism is aerobic and motile, using polar flagella for locomotion in its aqueous saline environment. Taxonomically, the genus Cobetia was reclassified from Halomonas following phylogenetic analyses that revealed distinct evolutionary lineages within the broader Halomonadaceae family. Research on Cobetia species is ongoing due to their potential applications in biotechnology, particularly for biosurfactant and extremolyte production in industrial settings. Conservation status has not been evaluated by the IUCN.

jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
