Curtobacterium ammoniigenes is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Microbacteriaceae, isolated from soil and plant-associated environments. It is aerobic, rod-shaped, and motile by a single flagellum, and is capable of producing ammonia from organic nitrogen compounds. The genus Curtobacterium is commonly found in agricultural soils and the phyllosphere of various crop plants.

Speckled Hummingbird

A medium-sized hummingbird with speckled or spotted underparts — unusual among hummingbirds dominated by plain or iridescent plumages — speckled hummingbirds inhabit cloud forest and forest edges in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia at elevations of 900–3,000 meters. The spotted underpart pattern provides remarkable camouflage when the bird perches on lichen-covered bark. They forage on nectar and small arthropods and are important pollinators of Andean epiphytes.
