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.

Planomicrobium psychrophilum e um coco movel adaptado ao frio, capaz de crescer em baixas temperaturas, tornando-o adequado para ambientes gelados. Foi isolado de solos polares e alpinos, aguas do mar frias e ambientes refrigerados em todo o mundo. Esta bacteria psicofilica decompoe materia organica em temperaturas proximas ao ponto de congelamento.
