Dehalobacter is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).{{lpsn|classificationdl.html|Classification of Genera DL}}
Etymology
The generic name Dehalobacter derives from Latin de, from; 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; a rod bacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, a rod; giving Dehalobacter, a halogen-removing, rod-shaped bacterium.{{lpsn|d/dehalobacter.html|Dehalobacter}}
Species
The genus contains a single species, namely D. restrictus (Holliger et al. 1998), type species of the genus. The specific name is from Latin restrictus, limited, restricted, confined, referring to the limited substrate range used.{{Cite journal | last1 = Holliger | first1 = C. | last2 = Hahn | first2 = D. | last3 = Harmsen | first3 = H. | last4 = Ludwig | first4 = W. | last5 = Schumacher | first5 = W. | last6 = Tindall | first6 = B. | last7 = Vazquez | first7 = F. | last8 = Weiss | first8 = N. | last9 = Zehnder | first9 = A.
