Stenotrophomonas chelatiphaga is a Gram-negative rod distinguished by its ability to degrade metal chelating compounds such as EDTA. It has been isolated from activated sludge and contaminated soil environments. This metabolically specialized bacterium participates in the breakdown of synthetic chelants in wastewater treatment systems.

Stenotrophomonas pictorum is a Gram-negative rod first isolated from a painting in a museum, reflecting its unusual habitat among biodeteriorating bacteria. It inhabits surfaces including art materials, building materials, and associated organic substrates. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades organic pigments and polymers in its environment.
