common bottlenose dolphin
The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.
Curtobacterium ammoniigenes is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Microbacteriaceae, isolated from soil and plant-associated environments. It is aerobic, rod-shaped, and motile by a single flagellum, and is capable of producing ammonia from organic nitrogen compounds. The genus Curtobacterium is commonly found in agricultural soils and the phyllosphere of various crop plants.
