Etymology
The name Dehalobacter derives from:
Latin pref. de, from; New Latin noun halogenum [from Swedish, coined by Swedish chemist Baron Jöns Jakob Berzelius (1779-1848) from Greek hals halos "salt" + -gen "to produce;" so called because a salt is formed in reactions involving these elements), halogen; New Latin masculine gender noun , a rodbacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, a rod; New Latin masculine gender noun Dehalobacter, a halogen-removing rod-shaped bacterium.[2]Species
The genus contains a single species,[2] namely D. restrictus ( Holliger et al. 1998, (Type species of the genus).; Latin masculine gender adjective restrictus, limited, restricted, confined, referring to the limited substrate range utilized.)[3]
