Taxonomy

Description

The name Planktophila was initially proposed in Jezbera et al. 2009 based on a enrichment culture, with 'Ca. Planktophila limnetica' strain MWH-EgelM2-3.acI as type strain. Initial description: Represented by the aerobic strain MWH-EgelM2-3.acI, which was isolated from a small lake near Salzburg, Austria. Curved rods with lengths of 1.0–1.5 mm and diameters of 0.4–0.5 mm. No pure culture is available. Contained in a stable mixed culture together with ‘Candidatus Limnoluna rubra’ and a Polynucleobacter necessarius subsp. asymbioticus strain. The mixed culture grows well in liquid NSY medium. Supplementation of NSY medium with L-alanine results in an increase of the relative proportion of ‘Ca. Planktophila limnetica’ by more than one order of
magnitude. ‘Ca. Planktophila limnetica’ can be recognized by the presence of the diagnostic oligonucleotide sequence 5'-GAAACTTGGTGGCATCRCCG-3' in the 16S rRNA gene (positions 183–193, E. coli numbering). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated the affiliation of the Candidatus taxon with the order Actinomycetales.
The genus description was later amended with the first genome-sequenced strains (Neuenschwander et al. 2018) and strain Planktophila limnetica MMS-VB-114 (GCF_002288365.1) as type strain.
