Fischer's Lovebird
A small, brilliantly colored lovebird native to the savanna woodlands and forest edges around Lake Victoria in Tanzania and Kenya, Fischer's lovebirds have green body plumage, vivid orange head and throat, and bright red bill. They form strong pair bonds, constantly preening each other — the behavior that gave lovebirds their name. Listed as Near Threatened due to heavy trapping for the global pet trade. Multiple color mutations have been developed in captivity.
Sphingobium amiense is a Gram-negative aerobic rod with the ability to degrade nonylphenol and related endocrine-disrupting compounds. It has been isolated from activated sludge and polluted soil environments. This bacterium plays a role in the degradation of synthetic surfactants and phenolic pollutants in wastewater treatment systems.
