Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens

Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens is a yellow-pigmented bacteria, named after its quality to reduce nitrite. It is a common soil bacteria. Its type strain is L2T (= DSM 12575T).[1]

Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens has the ability to transform unsaturated fatty acids into hydroxy fatty acids. [2] Hydroxy acids are incredibly important as they are the precursors of dicarboxylic acids and lactones and are one of the starting substances of polymers. [3]
