American Bald Eagle

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Sporosarcina saromensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, coccoid bacterium isolated from the saline Lake Saroma in Hokkaido, Japan. It is adapted to cold and moderately saline conditions typical of its original habitat. Like other Sporosarcina species, it can form resistant endospores and some strains exhibit carbonate precipitation activity, relevant to biomineralisation research.
