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

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.
