Planctomycetes are ubiquitous, environmentally and biotechnologically important bacteria
that are key players in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Ever since their first discovery in the …

Bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes have been previously reported to possess several
features that are typical of eukaryotes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and endocytosis…

When it comes to the discovery and analysis of yet uncharted bacterial traits, pure cultures
are essential as only these allow detailed morphological and physiological characterization …

Most bacteria contain a peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall, which is critical for maintenance of
shape and important for cell division. In contrast, Planctomycetes have been proposed to …

The Black Sea chemocline represents the largest extant habitat of anoxygenic phototrophic
bacteria and harbours a monospecific population of Chlorobium phylotype BS‐1. High‐…

Members of the Planctomycetes clade share many unusual features for bacteria. Their
cytoplasm contains membrane-bound compartments, they lack peptidoglycan and FtsZ, they …

Most members of the phylum Planctomycetes share many unusual traits that are unique for
bacteria, since they divide independent of FtsZ through asymmetric budding, possess a …

The cell wall of free-living bacteria consists of peptidoglycan (PG) and is critical for maintenance
of shape as dissolved solutes cause osmotic pressure and challenge cell integrity. …

‘ Caulobacter leidyi ’ DSM 4733 T has been shown to be affiliated with the family
Sphingomonadaceae instead of the Caulobacteraceae , and due to its poor characterization has …

Planctomycetes are conspicuous, ubiquitous, environmentally important bacteria. They can
attach to various surfaces in aquatic habitats and form biofilms. Their unique FtsZ-…
