gorilla

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Clostridium celerecrescens is an anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium in the family Clostridiaceae whose species epithet celerecrescens reflects its notably rapid growth rate compared to many other clostridia, which typically grow more slowly under anaerobic conditions. It is found in anaerobic environments including soils, sediments, and the digestive tracts of animals where fermentation of carbohydrates and organic compounds occurs. Like all Clostridium species, it is a strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium capable of producing resistant endospores that permit survival under environmental stresses. The rapid growth phenotype of C. celerecrescens makes it of potential interest for industrial biotechnology applications where fast colonization and fermentation rates are advantageous, including in bioremediation of contaminated anaerobic environments or in bioprocessing systems designed to convert organic substrates into valuable products through anaerobic fermentation. The genus Clostridium represents one of the most metabolically diverse groups of bacteria, encompassing species producing ethanol, butanol, hydrogen gas, and various organic acids from diverse carbon sources.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
