Lentisphera araneosa is a marine bacteria strain in the bacterial phylum Lentisphaerota.
They are able to produce viscous transparent exopolymers and grow attached to each other by the polymer in a three-dimensional configuration.
They are part of the natural surface bacterial population in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
They are less than 1% of the total bacterial community.
This species is gram negative, non-motile, non-pigmented, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, and facultatively oligotrophic sphere-shaped.
