Pelonema tenue is a slender, colorless filamentous bacterium in the order Achroonematales, found in the stratified, oxygen-depleted layers of freshwater lakes and brackish water bodies. It forms straight or slightly curved trichomes of narrow diameter in microaerobic to anaerobic zones. As a chemoheterotrophic organism, it participates in carbon cycling in hypolimnetic waters.
