Desulfitobacterium dehalogenans is a species of bacteria.[1] They are facultative organohalide respiring bacteria capable of reductively dechlorinating chlorophenolic compounds and tetrachloroethene. They are anaerobic, motile, Gram-positive and rod-shaped bacteria capable of utilizing a wide range of electron donors and acceptors.[2] The type strain JW/IU-DCT, DSM 9161, NCBi taxonomy ID 756499.

There are two described isolates from this species strains JW/IU-DCT[1] and PCE1.[3] The genomes of both strains have been sequenced, none of the strains encodes any plasmids, in addition to six reductive dehalogenases, the genomes encodes a large number of genes for utilization of a range of electron donors and acceptors.
