Carnivorous plant to 30 °C to thrive. Carnivorous plants require appropriate nutrient-poor soil. Most appreciate a 3:1 mixture of "Sphagnum" peat to sharp horticultural sand (coir is an acceptable, and more ecofriendly substitute for peat). "Nepenthes" will grow in orchid compost or in pure "Sphagnum" moss. Carnivorous plants are themselves susceptible to infestation by parasites such as aphids or mealybugs. Although small infestations can be removed by hand, larger infestations necessitate use of an insecticide. Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) is effective as a topical insecticide, particularly on scale insects. Diazinon is an excellent systemic insecticide that is tolerated by most carnivorous plants.
Bryocella elongata "Terriglobus" and 92.2–92.3% similarity to the type strains of "Telmatobacter bradus" and "Acidobacterium capsulatum". "Bryocella elongata" is an aerobic chemo-organotroph. The growth substrates are sugars and heteropolysaccharides of plant and microbial origin (pectin, lichenan, fucoidan, gellan gum). Type strain "Bryocella elongata" SN10(T) was isolated from a methanotrophic enrichment culture obtained from an acidic "Sphagnum" peat. "Bryocella elongata" is not capable of growth on C(1) compounds, but it can develop in co-culture with exopolysaccharide-producing methanotrophs by utilization of their capsular material. "Bryocella elongata" is an acidophilic, mesophilic bacterium capable of growth at pH 3.2–6.6 (optimum at pH 4.7–5.2) and at 6–32
