帝企鹅

帝企鹅是世界上体型最大的企鹅，身高可达1.2米，体重达45千克，栖息于南极大陆极端恶劣的环境中。它们在隆冬的黑暗中、零下60°C以下的严寒里繁殖，雄鸟将唯一的蛋置于脚背上，藏于育卵囊下孵化长达65天，而雌鸟则在此期间出海觅食。数千只帝企鹅组成的群体通过循环交换位置、使个体轮流经过温暖的核心区域这一抱团取暖行为，堪称合作生存的典范。

Sporosarcina aquimarina 是平板球菌科中的革兰氏阳性内生孢子形成细菌，从海岸环境中分离得到。形成典型的四联球或包状球菌集落，可产生耐热内生孢子以在环境胁迫下存活。Sporosarcina 成员因能诱导碳酸钙沉淀而在生物胶结领域备受关注。
