Alcaligenes aquatilis is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, motile bacterium with a peritrichous flagellum.[3] It was originally isolated from sediments in Shem Creek, Germany and from the Charleston Harbor salt marsh, USA.[4] Since then, it has also been found in Quintero Bay, Chile, among other locations.[5] A. aquatilis has demonstrated the ability to remove ammonium,[6] control cyanobacteria populations,[7] as well as break down synthetic organic dyes[8] and pharmaceutical drugs,[9] demonstrating potential applications for wastewater treatment. A. aquatilis is also capable of metabolizing hydrocarbons,[10][11] suggesting application in the bioremediation of oil spills and potential for use in desalination treatment.[12]
