giraffe

长颈鹿(Giraffa camelopardalis)是地球上最高的动物,身高可达5.5米,体重最重可达1,750千克。其细长的颈部——与所有哺乳动物一样包含七块颈椎——是为了在非洲稀树草原和林地取食金合欢树而进化的。长颈鹿是社会性动物,生活在无固定纽带的松散兽群中,通过次声波和肢体语言进行交流。由于栖息地丧失和偷猎,种群持续减少,被列为易危。

Sphingobacterium zeae 是一种革兰氏阴性黄色素杆菌,正如其种名所示,最初从玉米植株中分离得到。该菌栖息于玉米及相关作物的叶际和根际,是一种分解植物源有机质并可能在植物相关微生物组功能中发挥作用的好氧化能有机营养细菌。
