Dechloromonas aromatica is a gram negative, facultative anaerobe bacterium from the genus of Dechloromonas which was isolated of the Potomac River sludge in the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States and occurs in environment soil. Dechloromonas aromatica has the ability to degrade benzene anaerobically, reduce perchlorate and oxidize chlorobenzoate, toluene and xylene.[2][3]
