Rhodococcus opacus is a bacterium species in the genus Rhodococcus. It is moderately chemolithotrophic.{{cite journal|last1=Klatte|first1=Stefan|last2=Kroppenstedt|first2=Reiner Michael|last3=Rainey|first3=Frederick A.|title=Rhodococcus opacus sp.nov., An Unusual Nutritionally Versatile Rhodococcus-species|journal=Systematic and Applied Microbiology|volume=17|issue=3|year=1994|pages=355–360|issn=0723-2020|doi=10.1016/S0723-2020(11)80051-2}} Its genome has been sequenced.{{cite journal|last1=Pathak|first1=A.|last2=Green|first2=S.
