Green Sea Turtle
A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.
Hapalosiphon luteolus é uma cianobactéria filamentosa e ramificada encontrada em habitats de água doce, solo úmido e ambientes terrestres úmidos, incluindo turfeiras e margens de zonas úmidas. Produz uma pigmentação amarelada e forma heterocistos capazes de fixar nitrogênio. Esta espécie contribui para o ciclo do nitrogênio em ecossistemas de zonas úmidas e semi-aquáticos, onde faz parte das comunidades microbianas bentônicas.
