Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens is a yellow-pigmented bacteria, named after its quality to reduce nitrite.
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.
