Polynucleobacter
''Polynucleobacter'' is a genus of bacteria, originally established by Heckmann and Schmidt (1987) to exclusively harbor obligate endosymbionts of ciliates belonging to the genus '' Euplotes''. Recently, several new ''Polynucleobacter'' species were described, which all represent free-living (i.e. not host-associated) planktonic freshwater bacteria. Thus, the genus ''Polynucleobacter'' currently includes one species containing obligate endosymbionts of ciliates and nine species representing free-living planktonic strains. The type strains of the planktonic species were isolated from freshwater systems located in Antarctica, Armenia, Austria, China, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, Uganda, and the United States. Currently, the genus harbors 31 species. Free-living ''Poynucleobacter'' bacteria represent important members of bacterioplankton in freshwater systems such as lakes, ponds, and streams.
