''Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens'' is an anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria in the phylum Chloroflexi isolated from a Superfund site in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.〔 It is useful in bioremediation for its ability to reductively dehalogenate chlorinated alkanes.〔 == Discovery and Description == ''Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens'' cells are Gram-negative, non-motile, irregular cocci that are 0.3-0.6 μm in diameter.〔 There is no evidence of pathogenicity.〔 They are mesophiles that can grow in a temperature range of 20-34 °C with their optimum temperature range being 28-34 °C.〔 They grow best in pH 7-7.5 (pH range 6-8, although it was isolated from groundwater of pH 5.1).〔 Growth has been observed in salt concentrations from 0.1-2% NaCl with optimum growth at ≤1%.〔 GC-content reported in characterization of ''D''. ''lykanthroporellens'' is 53.8% as determined by HPLC; however, as determined by genomic analysis, the GC-content is 55.04%.〔〔.

Standards in Genomic Sciences 2012; 6:251-264. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3387798/pdf/sigs.2806097.pdf〕 ''D''. ''lyankanthroporepellens'' does not form spores.〔 Resistance to the antibiotics ampicillin and vancomycin has been observed.〔 ''D''. ''lykanthroporepellens'' is strictly anaerobic and uses hydrogen as an electron donor.〔 It has been cultured in an anaerobic basal medium at 30 °C in the dark.〔 It is able to reductively dehalogenate aliphatic alkanes (non-aromatic alkanes) such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane (reduces it to allyl chloride which abiotically transforms in the presence of water to allyl alcohol).〔 Two strains (BL-DC-9T and BL-DC-8) were isolated from a Superfund site in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2009 by Moe, Yan, Nobre, Costa, and Rainey—researchers at Louisiana State University and the University of Coimbra (Coimbra, Portugal).〔Yan J., Rash B.A., Rainey F.A., Moe W.M.

This site was contaminated with chlorinated solvents.〔 The genus name ''Dehalogenimonas'' reflects its ability to dehalogenate chlorinated alkanes.〔 The species name ''lykanthroporepellens'' comes from ''lykanthropos'' meaning werewolf and ''re-pellens'' meaning repelling.〔 The species name refers to the garlic smell of the bacteria when cultured.〔 Some folklore states that garlic can be used to repel creatures like werewolves and vampires.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
