Oh, and I wrote that yesterday on the fly - the name of the organism that causes the "pink slime" is methylobacter.

@sueinmn Hi Sue, could you provide a reference on Methylobacter being the organism that causes the "pink slime", please?
I searched about "pink slime" online and could find references linking it to a bacterium known as Serratia marcescens (https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/news/newsreleases/2010/aug-9-2010/red-substance-in-tub-toilet-is-bacteria/), which seems to be pathogenic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serratia_marcescens).
Thank you,
Armando
