Polynucleobacter victoriensis
species of bacterium
Polynucleobacter victoriensis is an aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile, free-living bacterium of the genus Polynucleobacter.
The type strain was isolated from Lake Victoria near Kampala in Uganda, East Africa. This strain was previously included in the description of P. cosmopolitanus, however subsequent sequencing and comparative analysis of the genome, of strain MWH-VicM1 revealed that this strain represented a new species, which was subsequently described as P. victoriensis. The species name reflects the origin of the type strain of the species from Lake Victoria. Strain MWH-VicM1 is remarkable due to its small genome size of only 1.6 Mbp. The type strain dwells as a free-living, planktonic bacterium in the water column of the lake, thus is part of freshwater bacterioplankton.
“Polynucleobacter victoriensis” enters the record as species of bacterium. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Polynucleobacter, victoriensis and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Polynucleobacter victoriensis” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Polynucleobacter, victoriensis and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q60183464. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
