gorilla

世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種（CR）に指定されている。

Viridibacillus arenisosiは種名が示す通り砂質土壌から分離された芽胞形成細菌です。特徴的な楕円形の内生胞子を形成し、比較的栄養分の少ない砂質基質でも生育できる能力で区別されます。この好気性化学有機栄養菌は砂質陸上環境での有機物分解において役割を果たします。
