Chinese Pangolin
The Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is a species in the genus Manis. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Sphingobacterium zeae is a Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented rod first isolated from corn plants, as its species name implies. It inhabits the phyllosphere and rhizosphere of maize and related crops. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades plant-derived organic matter and may play roles in plant-associated microbiome functions.
