Comparative Analysis of Ribonuclease P RNA of the Planctomycetes [PDF]
The planctomycetes, order Planctomycetales, are a distinct phylum of domain Bacteria. Genes encoding the RNA portion of ribonuclease P (RNase P) of some planctomycete members were sequenced and compared with existing database planctomycete sequences ...

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. Since then, 11 genera with 14 species have been validly named and five candidatus genera belonging to the anaerobic ammonium oxidation, anammox ...

On the maverick Planctomycetes [PDF]
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 1920s they seemed to blur the prokaryote /eukaryote dichotomy. After initially being described as fungi and reclassified as bacteria later, they were still thought to

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.

Missing lithotroph identified as new planctomycete [PDF]
With the increased use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture, many densely populated countries face environmental problems associated with high ammonia emissions. The process of anaerobic ammonia oxidation ('anammox') is one of the most innovative technological advances in the removal of ammonia nitrogen from waste water.

Planctomycetes diversity associated with macroalgae [PDF]
Planctomycetes associated with 12 macroalgae from the north coast of Portugal were isolated, using an improved method. A total of 138 isolates were found to comprise 10 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), with 65% of the strains being closely related to the species Rhodopirellula baltica.

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. Culture dependent and independent methods revealed the existence of a great number of species but,

Determining the bacterial cell biology of Planctomycetes [PDF]
AbstractBacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes have been previously reported to possess several features that are typical of eukaryotes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and endocytosis-like macromolecule uptake. However, recent evidence points towards a Gram-negative cell plan for Planctomycetes, although in-depth experimental analysis has been ...

High ultraviolet C resistance of marine Planctomycetes [PDF]
Planctomycetes are bacteria with particular characteristics such as internal membrane systems encompassing intracellular compartments, proteinaceous cell walls, cell division by yeast-like budding and large genomes. These bacteria inhabit a wide range of habitats, including marine ecosystems, in which ultra-violet radiation has a potential harmful ...
