giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。

Stenotrophomonas lactitubi は種小名が示すように乳製品加工環境から分離されたグラム陰性桿菌である。食品加工施設と乳製品関連基質に生息する。この好気性化学有機栄養体は有機化合物を分解し、食品生産表面や配管を集落化することがある。
