Stutzerimonas chloritidismutans is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacterium in the family Pseudomonadaceae. It performs dissimilatory chlorate reduction but does not carry out denitrification.[2]

The type strain, AW-1, was isolated from biomass in an anaerobic chlorate-reducing bioreactor.[2]

Taxonomy

The species was originally classified as Pseudomonas chloritidismutans. It was transferred to the genus Stutzerimonas when the Pseudomonas stutzeri group was separated from Pseudomonas.[3]

Genome-based analysis supported the distinction between S. chloritidismutans and S. stutzeri. The same analysis found that Stutzerimonas kunmingensis belongs to the same genomic species and treated it as a later heterotypic synonym of S. chloritidismutans.[4]
