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.
