Aspen Roller

The Aspen Roller (Ancylis laetana) is a species in the genus Ancylis. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats. Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

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.
