Etymology

The name Dehalogenimonas derives from:
Latin prep. de, away, off; New Latin noun halogenum, halogen; Latin feminine gender noun monas (μονάς), unit, monad; New Latin feminine gender noun Dehalogenimonas, dehalogenating monad, reflecting the ability of these bacteria to dehalogenate chlorinated alkanes.[1]

The type species of the genus is D. lykanthroporepellens[1] ( Moe et al. 2009). The species epithet derives from the Greek noun lykanthropos (λυκάνθρωπος), werewolf; Latin participle adjective repellens, repelling; New Latin participle adjective lykanthroporepellens, repelling `werewolves, because compounds exhibiting a pungent garlic aroma are produced when these organisms grow in the presence of 1,2,3-trichloropropane as an electron acceptor and sulfide as a reducing agent, garlic being said to repel werewolves in some fiction literature.[2]
