Exiguobacterium aurantiacum is an orange-pigmented, Gram-positive bacterium first isolated from a potato-processing plant, producing vivid carotenoid pigments that protect it against oxidative stress. It is a versatile, stress-tolerant organism found in a range of environments from food processing facilities to environmental soils. Members of Exiguobacterium are noted for extremotolerance, surviving wide temperature and pH ranges.

волк

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
