Dehalobacter alkaniphilus sp. nov.
Submitted by Bulka, Olivia
Abstract
Through pangenomic analyses we have found two new multi-strain species of Dehalobacter, in addition to the previously validly published Dehalobacter restrictus. The two species currently have placeholder names in the GTDB, thus we proposed these new species names instead.
Species Dehalobacter alkaniphilus
- Etymology
- [al.ka.ni.phi'lus] N.L. masc. n. alkanum, alkane; N.L. masc. adj. philus, loving; N.L. masc. adj. alkaniphilus, alkane-loving
- Nomenclatural type
- NCBI Assembly: GCA_040500365.1 Ts
- Description
-
The member of the Dehalobacter genus, Candidatus Dehalobacter alkaniphilus, is a bacterial species identified by metagenomic analyses. These bacteria anaerobically respire chlorinated alkanes through reductive dechlorination using hydrogen as an electron donor.
