Dehalobacter restrictus is a species of bacteria in the phylum Bacillota. It is strictly anaerobic and reductively dechlorinates tetra- and trichloroethene. It does not form spores; it is a small, gram-positive rod with one lateral flagellum. PER-K23 is its type strain.{{cite journal|last1=Holliger|first1=C.|last2=Hahn|first2=Dittmar|last3=Harmsen|first3=Hermie|last4=Ludwig|first4=Wolfgang|last5=Schumacher|first5=Wolfram|last6=Tindall|first6=Brian|last7=Vazquez|first7=Francisco|last8=Weiss|first8=Norbert|last9=Zehnder|first9=Alexander J.
