Baleia jubarte

Entre as baleias grandes mais acrobáticas, as baleias-jubarte são famosas por seus cantos complexos e evocativos entoados pelos machos durante a temporada reprodutiva, podendo durar horas e evoluir ao longo do tempo. Atingindo 16 metros e 30 toneladas, realizam as migrações mais longas de qualquer mamífero. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, alimentam-se de krill e peixes pequenos usando a técnica cooperativa de rede de bolhas.

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.
