The Atlantic ghost cat shark (Apristurus laurussonii) is a species in the genus Apristurus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in marine environments from coastal waters to deep ocean.

Ensifer arboris is a Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacterium forming effective root nodules on leguminous trees in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. It inhabits the rhizosphere and root nodules of Prosopis and other acacia-like leguminous trees in tropical and subtropical environments. This bacterium converts atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available ammonia for its host trees.
