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.
Sphingopyxis alaskensis é uma bactéria Gram-negativa marinha originalmente isolada de águas costeiras frias do Alasca, refletindo sua origem geográfica. Habita ambientes oceânicos frios e oligotróficos e pode crescer em concentrações muito baixas de nutrientes. Esta ultramicrobactéria está adaptada a condições marinhas frias e pobres em nutrientes, decompondo matéria orgânica dissolvida.
