Brown Thornbill

The Brown Thornbill (Acanthiza pusilla) is a species in the genus Acanthiza. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

It inhabits polluted aquatic environments and wastewater treatment systems. This chemoheterotroph degrades aromatic compounds and xenobiotics, making it of interest for bioremediation applications.
