Mechanisms of recalcitrant fucoidan breakdown in marine Planctomycetota

Nature Communications
Marine brown algae produce the highly recalcitrant polysaccharide fucoidan, contributing to long-term oceanic carbon storage and climate regulation. Fucoidan is degraded by specialized heterotrophic bacteria, which promote ecosystem function and global ...

Adaptive traits of Planctomycetota bacteria to thrive in macroalgal habitats and establish mutually beneficial relationship with macroalgae

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Bacteria and macroalgae share an inseparable relationship, jointly influencing coastal ecosystems. Within macroalgae habitats, Planctomycetota, a group of bacteria notoriously challenging to cultivate, often dominate. However, the mechanisms facilitating

Biosynthesis and import of the cytoprotective extremolytes ectoine and hydroxyectoine in the phylum Planctomycetota

Frontiers in Microbiology
Many bacteria inhabiting high-salinity environments accumulate compatible solutes, water-soluble organic compounds that are highly congruent with cellular biochemistry and physiology. This “salt-out” strategy counteracts cytoplasmic water loss, maintains

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Planctomycetota Isolated from Oyster Shell Biofilm: Ecological Relevance within the One Health Concept

Applied Microbiology, 2023
Background: Planctomycetota isolation in pure culture is still challenging with most of the reported data coming from molecular-based methods. Here, we intended to isolate Planctomycetota from the filter-feeder Pacific oyster Magallana gigas, extending ...

Insights into the phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of Planctomycetota in anaerobic digesters and the isolation of novel Thermoguttaceae species [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology
Abstract Studying bacteria in anaerobic digestion (AD) is crucial for optimizing microbial processes. While abundant taxa are often studied, less abundant groups may harbour novel metabolic potential. This study fills the gap by focusing on the Planctomycetota phylum, known to encode diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Despite

Novel tools for genomic modification and heterologous gene expression in the phylum Planctomycetota

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
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

Four novel Planctomicrobium species isolated from sewage sludge or leakage water of a compost heap in Northern Germany [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Four non-pigmented, off-white to ivory strains, SH527T, SH661T, SH664T and SH668T, have been isolated from sewage sludge or leakage water of a compost heap in Northern Germany as part of an isolation campaign conducted by Heinz Schlesner, Kiel University

The novel taxon Lacunimicrobium album gen. nov., sp. nov. is constituted by three planctomycetotal strains isolated from freshwater habitats in Northern Germany [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The majority of characterized members of the phylum Planctomycetota were isolated from marine habitats. To expand the open collection of limnic planctomycetes, we here characterize three isolates from the strain collection of Heinz Schlesner (Kiel ...

Kueselia aquadivae gen. nov., sp. nov., the first member of the family Isosphaeraceae isolated from subsurface percolates [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Subsurface habitats, found under various geological conditions, exhibit diverse microbial communities. The vadose zone, a previously unexplored subsurface compartment, connects the surface to phreatic groundwater.
