Solimonas variicoloris is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-spore forming bacterium belonging to the genus Solimonas. It was first isolated from a hexane-degrading biofilter near Hamm, Germany.
The species was initially described as Singularimonas variicoloris at the time of discovery, and later revised to Solimonas variicoloris upon analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Solimonas soli.
