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 indicatrix is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium related to the important environmental and opportunistic pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. It has been isolated from diverse soil and plant-associated environments. This aerobic chemoheterotroph degrades a wide range of organic compounds in terrestrial habitats.
