Red-pigmented halophile from evaporating salt ponds; requires 25% salt medium, lyses easily in plain water, releasing DNA.

All microbial cultures undergo an extensive quality control program prior to releasing for sale, so they are guaranteed for purity as well as for species.

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".

This organism is a common environmental isolate, and can be found in soil as well as in industrial settings.

Colorless, most widely dispersed of the Serratia species.
