Aquabacterium

Aquabacterium is a type of bacteria commonly found in freshwater environments, such as lakes, rivers, and biofilms on surfaces like pipes and filters. It belongs to a group known as Betaproteobacteria. These bacteria play a role in breaking down organic materials, contributing to natural water purification processes. While generally harmless, some species can be involved in biofilm formation in water systems, which may affect water quality or cause clogging. Understanding Aquabacterium helps in managing water treatment and ensuring safe, clean water supplies.
