Dehalogenating <i>Chloroflexi<\/i> (<i>Dehalococcoidetes<\/i>) was originally discovered as the key microorganisms mediating reductive dehalogenation <i>via<\/i> their key enzymes reductive dehalogenases (Rdh) as sole mode of energy conservation in terrestrial environments. The frequent detection of <i>Dehalococcoidetes<\/i>-related 16S rRNA and <i>rdh<\/i> genes in the marine subsurface implies a role for dissimilatory dehalorespiration in this environment; however, the two genes have never been linked to each other. To provide fundamental insights into the metabolism, genomic population structure and evolution of marine subsurface <i>Dehalococcoidetes sp<\/i>., we analyzed a non-contaminated deep-sea sediment core sample from the Peruvian Margin Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) site 1230, collected 7.3<em>%<\/em> complete. Despite a high degree of sequence-level similarity between the shared proteins in the Dsc and terrestrial <i>Dehalococcoidetes<\/i>, no evidence for catabolic reductive dehalogenation was found in Dsc.
