Dehalogenimonas is a genus in the phylum Chloroflexota (Bacteria). Members of the genus Dehalogenimonas can be referred to as dehalogenimonads (viz. Trivialisation of names).
Etymology
The name Dehalogenimonas derives from: Latin prep. de, away, off; Neo-Latin noun halogenum, halogen; Latin feminine gender noun monas (μονάς), unit, monad; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Dehalogenimonas, dehalogenating monad, reflecting the ability of these bacteria to dehalogenate chlorinated alkanes.
The type species of the genus is D. lykanthroporepellens
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
