Polynucleobacter hirudinilacicola is an aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter.
The type strain was isolated from a small alkaline lake located in Austria. The genome sequence of the strain was fully determined. 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.
