"Aromatoleum" is a genus of proteobacteria capable of microbial biodegradation of organic pollutants. The ~4.7 Mb genome of the facultative denitrifying "Aromatoleum aromaticum" strain EbN1 was the first to be determined for an anaerobic hydrocarbon degrader (using toluene or ethylbenzene as substrates). The genome sequence revealed about two dozen gene clusters (including several paralogs) coding for a complex catabolic network for anaerobic and aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds. The genome sequence forms the basis for current detailed studies on regulation of pathways and enzyme structures.cite book |author=McLeod MP and Eltis LD|year=2008|chapter=Genomic Insights Into the Aerobic Pathways for Degradation of Organic Pollutants|title=Microbial Biodegradation: Genomics and Molecular Biology|publisher=Caister Academic Press|id= ISBN 978-1-904455-17-2]
