This organism is commonly isolated from sewage, water, soil and dairy products, as it is a normal part of intestinal flora.

Nitrogen fixation, produces nodules on legume roots. Bacteroids from nodules can be X, Y, and club shapes.

Produces streptomycin. Branching mycelium and coenocytic hyphae. 

The presence of A. viscolactis in milk is a common cause for sliminess or "ropiness".

Produces orange pigments.

This organism is commonly isolated in soil and produces antibiotics such as bacitracin, subtilisin, and mycobacillin.

This species of Rhodospirillum is commonly isolated from stagnant water and mud. It is especially interesting because it produces a red pigment and is also capable of photosynthesis.
