The first member of the Dehalococcoides (DHC) group to be isolated and characterized was strain 195, a coccoid bacterium that dechlorinates tetrachloroethene to ethene and was found in contaminated ground water sites. It was later classified as Dehalococcoides ethenogenes.[1]
The second group to be isolated and characterized were strains BL-DC-8 and BL-DC-9T. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strains cluster within the phylum Chloroflexi, but are related only distantly to all recognized taxa in the phylum. Morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic traits as well as phylogenetic analysis support the conclusion that these two strains represent a novel species of a new genus in the phylum Chloroflexi, for which the name Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BL-DC-9T (=ATCC BAA-1523T =JCM 15061T).[2]

- Dehalococcoides ethenogenes♠ Maymo-Gatell et al. 1997

Note:
♠ Strain found at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) but has no standing with the Bacteriological Code (1990 and subsequent Revision) as detailed by List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) as a result of the following reasons:
• No pure culture isolated or available for Prokayotes.
• Not validly published because the effective publication only documents deposit of the type strain in a single recognized culture collection.
• Not approved and published by the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology or the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSB/IJSEM).
