The Caucasian Mole (Talpa caucasica) is a species in the genus Talpa. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

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.
