Determining the bacterial cell biology of Planctomycetes [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2017
Several unusual features have been reported for bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and an endocytosis-like process. Here, Boedekeret al.

Planctomycetes dominate biofilms on surfaces of the kelp Laminaria hyperborea [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Bacteria belonging to Planctomycetes display several unique morphological and genetic features and are found in a wide variety of habitats on earth. Their ecological roles in these habitats are still poorly understood.

Keys to eukaryality: planctomycetes and ancestral evolution of cellular complexity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Planctomycetes are known to display compartmentalization via internal membranes, thus resemblingeukaryotes. Significantly, the planctomycete Gemmata obscuriglobus has not only a nuclear regionsurrounded by a double-membrane, but is also capable of ...

On the maverick Planctomycetes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2018
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

Planctomycetes of the Genus Singulisphaera Possess Chitinolytic Capabilities

Microorganisms
Planctomycetes of the genus Singulisphaera are common inhabitants of soils and peatlands. Although described members of this genus are characterized as possessing hydrolytic capabilities, the ability to degrade chitin has not yet been reported for these ...

Planctomycetes and eukaryotes: A case of analogy not homology [PDF]

BioEssays, 2011
AbstractPlanctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and Chlamydia are prokaryotic phyla, sometimes grouped together as the PVC superphylum of eubacteria. Some PVC species possess interesting attributes, in particular, internal membranes that superficially resemble eukaryotic endomembranes. Some biologists now claim that PVC bacteria are nucleus‐bearing prokaryotes

Hi-C Links Reveal Viral Activity and Infection Within the Free-Living Microbial Community of a Secondary Chlorophyll Maximum in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Hi‐C sequencing was used to link viral sequences with microbial metagenome assembled genomes in the largely uncultivated waters of an oxygen‐deficient zone's secondary chlorophyll maximum within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean. ABSTRACT Oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs) influence global nitrogen cycling as key sites for the removal of bioavailable

Stieleriacines, N-Acyl Dehydrotyrosines From the Marine Planctomycete Stieleria neptunia sp. nov.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes occur ubiquitously in marine environments and play important roles in the marine nitrogen- and carbon cycle, for example as scavengers after phototrophic blooms.

Evaluating the evolutionary origins of unexpected character distributions within the bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae superphylum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Recently, several characters that are absent from most bacteria, but which are found in many eukaryotes or archaea, have been identified within the bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum.

Cultivation-Independent Analysis of the Bacterial Community Associated With the Calcareous Sponge Clathrina clathrus and Isolation of Poriferisphaera corsica Gen. Nov., Sp. Nov., Belonging to the Barely Studied Class Phycisphaerae in the Phylum Planctomycetes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Marine ecosystems serve as global carbon sinks and nutrient source or breeding ground for aquatic animals. Sponges are ancient parts of these important ecosystems and can be found in caves, the deep-sea, clear waters, or more turbid environments.
