Bringing Planctomycetes into pure culture [PDF]
Planctomycetes have been known since the description of Planctomyces bekefii by Gimesi at the beginning of the twentieth century (1924), although the first axenic cultures were only obtained in the 1970s.

Anticancer Activity in Planctomycetes [PDF]
There is a strong need to develop new drugs against many severe diseases. Therapy resistance is a major problem, for instance, in infectious diseases and cancer. Drug discovery has again turned to nature to search for molecules that can become drug leads.

Planctomycetes and macroalgae, a striking association [PDF]
Planctomycetes are part of the complex microbial biofilm community of a wide range of macroalgae. Recently, some studies began to unveil the great diversity of Planctomycetes present in this microenvironment and the interactions between the two organisms.

The Microbiome of Posidonia oceanica Seagrass Leaves Can Be Dominated by Planctomycetes
Seagrass meadows are ubiquitous, fragile and endangered marine habitats, which serve as fish breeding grounds, stabilize ocean floor substrates, retain nutrients and serve as important carbon sinks, counteracting climate change. In the Mediterranean Sea,

Kolteria novifilia, a novel planctomycetotal strain from the volcanic habitat of Panarea divides by unusual lateral budding [PDF]
Members of the phylum Planctomycetota are ubiquitous bacteria that play important roles in the global carbon and nitrogen cycle. In this study, we sampled the shallow-sea hydrothermal vent system close to Panarea Island, Italy, and analyzed the bacterial

Novel tools for genomic modification and heterologous gene expression in the phylum Planctomycetota [PDF]
Members of the phylum Planctomycetota possess a plethora of intriguing and hitherto underexplored features including an enlarged periplasmic space, asymmetric cell division (“budding”), and a mostly undiscovered small molecule portfolio. Due to the large
