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.

Stenotrophomonas pavanii is a Gram-negative rod first isolated from sugarcane plants, reflecting its association with agricultural crops. It inhabits the endosphere and rhizosphere of grasses and crops in subtropical and tropical regions. This nitrogen-fixing bacterium provides nutritional benefits to its plant hosts.
