Eurasian red squirrel

Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List. Widespread and abundant across its range, with stable populations and no immediate conservation concerns.

Lysobacter enzymogenes is a Gram-negative, gliding bacterium renowned for its exceptional production of extracellular lytic enzymes including proteases and beta-glucanases. It inhabits soil environments globally and is studied for its biocontrol potential against plant pathogens. This predatory bacterium feeds on other microorganisms by enzymatic lysis.
