O panda-gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) é um animal emblemático da China, célebre pela sua pelagem branca e preta e pela dieta baseada quase exclusivamente em bambu. Seu estado de conservação é vulnerável (VU), é o animal-bandeira da conservação internacional da vida silvestre e sua população apresentou alguma recuperação nos últimos anos.
Micromonospora halotolerans e uma actinobacteria filamentosa tolerante ao sal que forma micelio aereo laranja a marrom com esporos individuais. Habita solos costeiros, sedimentos salinos e ambientes associados a plantas halofilas. Este quimioheterotrofo degrada polissacarideos complexos e outros substratos organicos, produzindo metabolitos secundarios bioativos, incluindo antibioticos.
