Overview

  • Dehalococcoides mccartyi is a Gram-stain unknown, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, non-motile, coccus bacterium. It has been detected in at least 2 gut microbiome compilation studies or metastudies. The DNA G+C content is 47-48.9%. Dehalococcoides mccartyi is likely to be transient and not a long-term gut coloniser. (Loffler2013; MaymoGatell1997)



  • This organism has been recovered from an anaerobic reactor, USA. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. Likely to be transient and not a long-term gut commensal.
    • QUIRKS
  • Hydrogenotrophic, organohalide-respiring. Reductive dehalogenation of mono- and polychlorinated and brominated aromatic compounds, alkanes and alkenes.
