Polynucleobacter sphagniphilus [1] is an aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter . [2] [3]
The type strain was isolated from a small acidic bog pond located in Austria. In contrast to other Polynucleobacter type strains, for instance the type strain of P. duraquae , the strain inhabits and prefers acidic waters. The genome sequence of the strain was fully determined., [4] [5] The type strain dwells as a free-living, planktonic bacterium in the water column of a bog pond, thus is part of freshwater bacterioplankton.
