Polar bear

O maior carnivoro terrestre da Terra, o urso-polar pode ultrapassar 700 kg e e encontrado pelo gelo marinho artico, do Canada ate a Russia.

Classificado como Vulneravel, com populacoes sob severa pressao devido a rapida perda de gelo marinho artico causada pelas mudancas climaticas.

Rhizobium pongamiae e uma alfaproteobacteria fixadora de nitrogenio da familia Rhizobiaceae que forma simbioses de nodulos radiculares com plantas leguminosas, incluindo Pongamia pinnata. Desempenha um papel na agricultura sustentavel ao reduzir o nitrogenio atmosferico a amonia para uso das plantas.
