Mechanisms of recalcitrant fucoidan breakdown in marine Planctomycetota
Nature CommunicationsMarine 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 ...

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

“Candidatus Uabimicrobium helgolandensis”—a planctomycetal bacterium with phagocytosis-like prey cell engulfment, surface-dependent motility, and cell division [PDF]
mBioThe unique cell biology presented by members of the phylum Planctomycetota has puzzled researchers ever since their discovery. Initially thought to have eukaryotic-like features, their traits are now recognized as exceptional but distinctly bacterial ...

Kolteria novifilia, a novel planctomycetotal strain from the volcanic habitat of Panarea divides by unusual lateral budding [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyMembers 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
