Epaulard

The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.

Micromonospora marina is a marine-derived actinobacterium forming orange-to-red single spores on substrate mycelium. It has been isolated from marine sediments and coastal soils with marine influence. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades complex organic polymers in marine and coastal environments and produces bioactive secondary metabolites.
