Agarwood

The Agarwood (Aquilaria filaria) is a species in the genus Aquilaria. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Sphingobium cloacae is a Gram-negative aerobic rod isolated from sewage and wastewater environments, as its species name suggests. It inhabits polluted aquatic environments and wastewater treatment systems. This chemoheterotroph degrades aromatic compounds and xenobiotics, making it of interest for bioremediation applications.
