Iodidimonas is a genus of bacteria that oxidizes iodide (I⁻) to iodine (I₂). It was isolated from iodide-rich brine associated with natural gas in Kujukuri, Japan.^[1]^[3]

Geiger et alii (2023) suggest that Iodidimonas may be the closest living relative of mitochondria.^[4] If true, this lineage and protomitochondria emerged from a common ancestor before the symbiogenetic event that gave rise to the eukaryotes.^[5]
