Alder

The Alder (Alnus acuminata) is a species in the genus Alnus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Sphingomonas trueperi is a Gram-negative, aerobic yellow-pigmented rod named in honor of microbiologist Heinz Trueper. It inhabits soil and freshwater environments and is distinguished by the production of sphingolipids in its cell membrane. This chemoheterotroph degrades a variety of organic compounds in terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
