Description
Min-gyung Baek and co-authors name a new bacterial species in 2026 from lake water. The strain looks like a member of a genus known for cleaning chlorine compounds, yet gene tests place it on its own branch near related genera. Its closest named relative shares high gene similarity but low whole-genome identity, below the species cutoff.
The cells can live with or without oxygen and use iron or oxygen to breathe. Body chemistry and growth traits also set the strain apart from known species. On the combined evidence the team proposes the name Dechloromonas parva for the new species. The paper deposits the strain in public culture collections for other labs.
