The Catkin Yew (Amentotaxus argotaenia) is a species in the genus Amentotaxus. It is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in temperate and boreal forests, often at higher elevations.

Micromonospora soli is a filamentous actinobacterium forming single spores on substrate mycelium, isolated from diverse soil environments worldwide. It inhabits terrestrial soils across temperate and tropical regions. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades chitin, cellulose, and other complex organic polymers while producing bioactive compounds including antibiotics.
