Synonyms

Polynucleobacter necessarius subsp. asymbioticus MWH-EgelM1-30-B4, Polynucleobacter sp. MWH-EgelM1-30-B4, strain MWH-EgelM1-30-B4

Polynucleobacter hirudinilacicola [1] is an aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter . [2] [3] [4]

The type strain was isolated from a small alkaline lake located in Austria. The genome sequence of the strain was fully determined. [5] The type strain dwells as a free-living, planktonic bacterium in the water column of the lake, thus is part of freshwater bacterioplankton. Among the described Polynucleobacter species, P. hirudinilacicola is closest related to P. campilacus .

Polynucleobacter asymbioticus is an aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, chemo-organotrophic, nonmotile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter. The type strain was isolated from a small pond located in the Austrian Alps in the area of Salzburg and described as a new subspecies of Polynucleobacter necessarius in 2009. The classification of the type strain was hampered by the fact that its closest described relative represented obligate endosymbionts, i.e. P. necessarius, not available as a pure culture suitable for standard tests for delineation of prokaryotic species. Therefore, the strain was preliminarily placed in the subspecies P. necessarius subsp. asymbioticus. Later sequencing of the genome of the type strain revealed that the strain represented a novel species within the genus Polynucleobacter. Therefore, its taxonomic rank was lifted from the subspecies to the species level. Strains of P. asymbioticus dwell as planktonic organisms in acidic, humic-rich freshwater systems. Comparative genome analyses revealed that P. asymbioticus represents an atypical member of the family Burkholderiaceae regarding its small genome size and its passive lifestyle. A recent study used a collection of 37 P. asymbioticus strains isolated from various ponds located in a larger region of the Austrian Alps to gain insights in the evolution of Polynucleobacter bacteria.

Polynucleobacter duraquae is an aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, sometimes motile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter, isolated from Lake Mondsee in Austria.

The Silvanigrellales are an order of the phylum Proteobacteria. They include currently only the single family Silvanigrellaceae.

The Silvanigrellaceae are the only family of the order Silvanigrellales, of the class Oligoflexia, of the phylum Proteobacteria. This family currently harbors the two genera Silvanigrella and Fluviispira

Silvanigrella aquatica is a bacterial species., of the phylum Proteobacteria. The type strain was isolated from the small lake Nonnenmattweiher located in the Southern Black Forest in Germany. This species is currently the only species in the genus Silvanigrella, which is the only genus in the family Silvanigrellaceae, which is the only family in the order Silvanigrellales. The order Silvanigrellales is one of only four orders in the class Oligoflexia. The type strain MWH-Nonnen-W8red is remarkable due to its low GC content, its pigmentation and its plastic morphology. Of further interest is the relative close relationship of S. aquatica to "Spirobacillus cienkowskii" known as pathogens of daphnids (Daphnia), which are commonly called water fleas. However, S. aquatica is assumed to be a non-pathogenic free-living species. The genome of the type strain was sequenced,

Silvanigrella is a genus, of the phylum Proteobacteria. The genus currently contains with Silvanigrella aquatic and Silvanigrella paludirubra two taxonomically described species.

Rhodoluna is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and non-motile genus of bacteria from the family of Microbacteriaceae. The type strain of the only species Rhodoluna lacicola encodes an actinorhodopsin, which is a light-diven proton pump enabling light energy conversion, potentially resulting in a mixotrophic physiology. The type strain of R. lacicola was isolated from Lake Tai in China. The type strain MWH-Ta8 is remarkable for its very small cell size ultramicrobacterium and its small genome size of only 1.4 Mbp. The type strain has a planktonic lifestyle, that is freely floating the water column of aquatic systems. Currently, the genus Rhodoluna contains two described species.
