Chestnut-breasted Whiteface

The Chestnut-breasted Whiteface (Aphelocephala pectoralis) is a species in the genus Aphelocephala. It is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Sphingobacterium zeae is a Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented rod first isolated from corn plants, as its species name implies. It inhabits the phyllosphere and rhizosphere of maize and related crops. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades plant-derived organic matter and may play roles in plant-associated microbiome functions.
