Chroococcus submarinus is a species of cyanobacteria in the family Chroococcaceae, documented from saline and brackish aquatic environments. The specific epithet submarinus indicates an association with marine or nearshore saline habitats, distinguishing this species from the many Chroococcus species found exclusively in freshwater. Cyanobacteria are notably tolerant of a wide range of salinities, and the genus Chroococcus includes species from freshwater, brackish, marine, and hypersaline environments. In marine and coastal habitats, cyanobacteria contribute significantly to nitrogen fixation, particularly in oligotrophic tropical and subtropical seas where they can fix atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available forms, subsidizing productivity. Chroococcus submarinus, like other members of the genus, consists of spherical cells occurring in pairs or small groups within gelatinous sheaths. Marine cyanobacteria are important components of coastal biofilms on rocky shores, seagrass meadows, and other benthic habitats. The species has been recorded from European coastal and semi-saline environments. As a prokaryotic microorganism, it has not been assessed under IUCN criteria, and detailed ecological studies specific to this species remain limited.
Fly Agaric
광대버섯(Amanita muscaria)은 지구상에서 가장 상징적이고 잘 알려진 균류로, 북반구 한대림 전역에 걸쳐 흰 반점이 박힌 선명한 붉은 갓을 드러낸다. 동화 같은 외모와 달리 무스시몰과 이보텐산 등 강력한 향정신성 화합물을 함유하며 중등도 독성이 있다. 자작나무, 소나무, 가문비나무와 필수 외균근 공생 관계를 형성하여 무기 영양분을 탄소와 교환하며 한대림 영양 순환에 핵심 역할을 담당한다.
