Rahnella aquatilis, a potential contaminant in lager beer breweries

Int J Food Microbiol. 1991 May;13(1):63-8. doi: 10.1016/0168-1605(91)90137-e.

Abstract

The species Rahnella aquatilis has been isolated mostly from water, soil, and, in a few cases, from human clinical specimens; little is known about its ecological role. The application of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of soluble proteins, DNA-DNA hybridizations and API 20 E systems has shown that Rahnella aquatilis might also be encountered as a contaminant in lager beer breweries.
