Alder

The Alder (Alnus glutinosa) 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.

Salinicoccus roseus is a pink to rose-pigmented, halophilic Gram-positive coccus found in saline habitats. It inhabits salt lakes, solar salt pans, and hypersaline soils across arid and coastal regions worldwide. This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments that may protect it from high-intensity sunlight in its exposed saline environment.
