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-DC^T, DSM 9161, NCBi taxonomy ID 756499.

There are two described isolates from this species strains JW/IU-DC^{T [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.

Strain	Source	Genome size, Mbp	Number of reductive dehalogenases	DSM
JW/IU-DCT	Freshwater pond	4,3 [4]	6	9161
PCE1	Polluted soul	4,2 [5]	6	10344
