Dehalococcoidiais a class ofChloroflexota,aphylumofBacteria.It is also known as the DHC group.[3]

The nameDehalococcoidetesis a placeholder name given by Hugenholtz and Stackebrandt, 2004, afterDehalococcoides ethenogenes,apartially describedspeciesin 1997,[4]whereas the first species fully described belonging to this class wasDehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellensby Moe et al. 2009, but no emendations to the name were made.[5][6][7]

Characteristics

[edit]

Both species,Dehalococcoides ethenogenesandDehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellensare irregularcoccus(coccoid) bacteria capable ofdehalogenatingpolychlorinated aliphatic alkanes and alkenes, such astetrachloroethene,trichloropropane,trichloroethane,dichloropropane,anddichloroethane.[8]

One of the features of the members of the phylumChloroflexotais the unusualcell wall structure,which ismonodermbut with great variation in presence or structure of thepeptidoglycanresulting in many members stainingGram-negativeand otherGram-positive.[9] Both species of Dehalococcoidetes stainGram negative,but they potentially lack peptidoglycan and instead possess pseudopeptidoglycan[dubiousdiscuss](S-layer) (resistant to peptidoglycan-attacking antibioticsampicillinandvancomycin;wheat germ agglutinindoes not bind nor doeslysozymework).[failed verification][4][5][10]
