虎鯨

作为海豚科体型最大的成员，虎鲸（Orcinus orca）体长可达9米，体重6吨，分布于从北极到南极的所有海洋。以母系群体生活的顶级捕食者，不同种群具有独特的方言、狩猎策略和文化传统。一些种群专门捕食鱼类，另一些则捕食海洋哺乳动物。没有天敌，虎鲸位于其所栖居的每条海洋食物链的顶端。

Exiguobacterium aurantiacum是一种橙色素革兰氏阳性细菌，最初从马铃薯加工厂分离，产生可抵御氧化应激的鲜艳类胡萝卜素色素。它是一种多用途、耐压力的生物，在食品加工设施到环境土壤的各种环境中均有发现。Exiguobacterium属成员以能在宽温度和pH范围内存活的极端耐受性著称。
