Polaromonas naphthalenivorans is a Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, non-spore-forming, nonmotile bacterium from the genus Polaromonas , which was isolated from coal-tar contaminated freshwater sediment. [3] P. naphthalenivorans has the ability to degrade naphthalene. [3] [4] Its colonies have a smooth and glistening surface. [3]
