Black Flying Squirrel

The Black Flying Squirrel (Aeromys tephromelas) is a species in the genus Aeromys. Its conservation status is listed as Data Deficient, indicating insufficient data for assessment. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Sphingobium limneticum is a Gram-negative aerobic rod first isolated from lake water environments, as its species name implies. It inhabits freshwater lakes and ponds across temperate regions. This chemoheterotroph decomposes dissolved organic matter in lacustrine environments and may degrade aromatic compounds.
