Rhodococcus opacus is a bacterium species in the genus Rhodococcus. It is moderately chemolithotrophic.[1] Its genome has been sequenced.[2]R. opacus possesses extensive catabolic pathways for both sugars and aromatics and can tolerate inhibitory compounds found in depolymerized biomass (e.g., phenolics and furfural)
