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 ...

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Polynyas in the polar seas are regarded as windows through which ecosystem responses associated with global climate changes are to be noticed. However, little information is available on benthic microbial communities in the Amundsen Sea polynya (ASP ...

ABSTRACT Drylands are crucial for global carbon (C) storage and biodiversity, yet increasing food demands are driving the extensive conversion of natural lands to croplands in Zambia. While soil microbes play key roles in nutrient cycling, the effects of forest conversion to cropland on their community structure and functional potential remain unclear ...

Phagocytosis-like cell engulfment by a planctomycete bacterium [PDF]
Abstract Phagocytosis is a key eukaryotic feature, conserved from unicellular protists to animals, that enabled eukaryotes to feed on other organisms. It could also be a driving force behind endosymbiosis, a process by which α-proteobacteria and cyanobacteria evolved into mitochondria and plastids, respectively ...

Gut Microbiome Communities Vary Across Translocated Populations of the Seychelles Warbler
Conservation translocations are an increasingly common tool used to help combat species extinction but their success is dependent on a wide range of abiotic and biotic factors. To date, the potential role of host‐associated microbiomes in translocation success has been overlooked despite their fundamental contribution to host health and fitness.

Planctomycetes do possess a peptidoglycan cell wall [PDF]
AbstractMost 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 produce a proteinaceous cell wall devoid of PG. The apparent absence of PG has been used as an argument for the putative planctomycetal ancestry of all bacterial ...
