Vario-vorax means various-voracious, able to devour many substrates, while para-doxus means contrary-opinion, describing the nature of this microbe.
- Isolated from the human vagina1
- Variovorax can utilise a wide variety of energy sources
- Carotenoid pigments produce yellow-green colonies
- Optimal growth temperature is 30 °C
- Isolated from diverse environments – soil, rhizomes, drinking water, groundwater, caves, marine sediment, mines, snow
