Komodo Dragon

코모도왕도마뱀(Varanus komodoensis)은 현존하는 가장 큰 도마뱀이다. 인도네시아의 몇몇 섬에서만 서식한다.

Lepocinclis marssonii는 Phacaceae과에 속하는 단세포 광합성 유글레나류 편모충으로, 탄소 저장 화합물인 파라밀론 과립을 가진 견고한 방추형 내지 타원형 세포체가 특징입니다. 부영양 내지 중영양 담수 연못, 도랑, 습지에 서식하며 식물플랑크톤 군집에 기여합니다. 같은 속의 유글레나와 달리, Lepocinclis 세포는 형태 변형(metaboly)이 불가능한 단단한 외피를 가집니다.
