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.

Komvophoron minutum é uma minúscula cianobactéria filamentosa que forma tricomas curtos, retos ou levemente curvados em diversos habitats aquáticos, incluindo riachos, lagos e ambientes terrestres úmidos. Seu tamanho diminuto a torna pouco conspícua, mas contribui para comunidades de tapetes microbianos e formação de biofilmes sobre substratos submersos. Esta espécie está distribuída por ecossistemas de água doce temperados e boreais.
