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。

Planococcus citreusはレモンイエローの色素を持つグラム陽性球菌で、球菌では珍しい周毛性鞭毛による運動性が特徴的である。海洋沿岸環境に生息し、海水や海洋堆積物に一般的に見られる。この好気性細菌は塩分のある環境で有機物を分解することで栄養を得る。
