However, only a few bacteria, including Ralstonia pickettii PKO1 and Dechloromonas sp. strain RCB, have been reported as degrading all six BTEX compounds. Pseudoxanthomonas spadix (strain BD-a59) is a Gram-negaitive bacterium able to degrade all six BTEX compounds. It has been isolated from gasoline-contaminated sediment and is shown to be responsible for the in situ degradation of BTEX compounds in gasoline-contaminated soil.
