The opportunistic pathogen Nocardia farcinica is a foam-producing bacterium in activated sludge plants.

Letters in applied microbiology - 1 May 1996

Abstract excerpt

A Gram-positive unicellular coccal-diphtheroid rod causing foam in an activated sludge plant was successfully isolated by micromanipulation. Phenotypic characterization and 16S rDNA sequencing identified it as Nocardia farcinica. This is the first report that this opportunistic pathogen is a foam...
