Stenotrophomonas lactitubi is a Gram-negative rod isolated from dairy processing environments, as its species name suggests. It inhabits food processing facilities and dairy-associated substrates. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic compounds and may colonize food production surfaces and piping.

Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens is a Gram-negative rod with the ability to reduce nitrite, a key step in nitrogen cycling. It inhabits activated sludge and wastewater treatment environments where nitrogen compounds are abundant. This metabolically versatile bacterium contributes to denitrification processes in engineered and natural aquatic systems.
