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.

Pontibacter aurantiacus is an orange-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium in the phylum Bacteroidetes, first isolated from the Black Sea. It inhabits saline coastal and marine sediment environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments and degrades organic matter in saline aquatic environments.
