Aromatoleum aromaticum

"Aromatoleum" is a genus of proteobacteria capable of microbial biodegradation of organic pollutants.

The strain EbN1 has not been described in detail, therefore, according to the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria,[1] the name "Aromatoleum aromaticum" is not valid (cf.[2]) and is officially it is referred to Azoarcus sp. EbN1 as it belongs to the Azoarcus/Thauera cluster.[3] The discovery of the strain was published in 1995,[4] and was subsequently referred to in the literature as "Aromatoleum aromaticum" and cited as "(Rabus, unpublished data)".[3]
