Variovorax is a Gram-negative and motile genus of bacteria from the family Comamonadaceae. It belongs to the class called Betaproteobacteria. [1] [2] [3] It is an aerobic bacteria and most of its species is found in soil and freshwater. [4] The demographic distribution of this species is primarily in Europe, Asia and the Americas, as well as the polar regions. [5] Its designated species is Variovorax paradoxus which arose from the species Alcaligenes paradoxus being grouped under the Variovorax genus. [6] Variovorax paradoxus constitutes to the methylotrophic microbiota of the human mouth. [7]
