- Contaminated sediments from an oil refinery in Oklahoma, USA (Nales et al., 1998; Bioremediat J 2). The site was described as being from a saturated, highly anaerobic zone that had been chronically exposed to hydrocarbons. Cultures have been maintained in anaerobic minimal medium ever since, and fed with benzene as their sole carbon and energy source.

- note
- ORM2a is a strictly anaerobic bacterium capable of benzene fermentation (see Toth et al. 2021, Environ. Sci. Technol. 55). It is one of three predicted benzene-degrading organisms in the OR/DGG-B mixed prokaryotic consortium. ORM2a has never been isolated in pure culture.
