琉璃金剛鸚鵡

蓝黄金刚鹦鹉(Ara ararauna)是最壮观且广泛饲养的金刚鹦鹉之一,以亮丽的钴蓝色上体与鲜黄色下体及绿色额部形成美丽对比。分布于巴拿马东部经委内瑞拉、巴西、玻利维亚至秘鲁和厄瓜多尔的森林、林地和稀树草原。高度智慧,成对或小群活动,以棕榈果、种子和水果为食。作为笼养鸟已有400余年历史,在人工饲养环境下可存活80年以上。

Clitopilus passeckerianus is a white-rot agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae notable for its role as a natural producer of pleuromutilin, a diterpenoid antibiotic compound that serves as the biosynthetic precursor for the veterinary and human antibiotic drugs tiamulin and valnemulin, used to treat Mycoplasma infections in livestock. First described from European woodland habitats, the species produces the characteristic Clitopilus fruiting body: a pale, whitish cap with decurrent, crowded gills becoming pinkish at maturity from angular spores, and a farinaceous odor. Its antibiotic-producing capacity makes C. passeckerianus of significant pharmaceutical interest, and biosynthetic studies of pleuromutilin production have informed synthetic chemistry approaches to antibiotic development. The species inhabits temperate deciduous woodland floors in Europe, fruiting in autumn among leaf litter. Discovery of its pleuromutilin biosynthetic pathway has opened avenues for heterologous expression and semi-synthetic modification aimed at developing novel antibiotics to counter antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens.
