Nomenclatural type: Species Pollutaquibacter aromativorans^Ts
Description: Not cultivated. Inferred to be a rod-shaped, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic organotroph that obtains energy by fermentation, aerobic respiration, or denitrification, and is capable of using aromatic compounds, fatty acids, and some sugars as growth substrates.
Represented by the complete genome NLOS2-E-001 (GenBank acc. no. CP185379) obtained from the metagenome of wastewater in Moscow, Russia.
