planctomycetes

Examples of planctomycetes in the following topics:

• Planctomycetes

  • Planctomycetes are a phylum of aquatic bacteria and are found in samples of brackish, marine, and fresh water.
  • Planctomycetes are a phylum of aquatic bacteria.
  • Planctomycetes have internal structures that are more complex than typically expected in prokaryotes.
  • RNA sequencing shows that the planctomycetes are related to the Verrucomicrobia and possibly the Chlamydiae.
  • The life cycle of many planctomycetes involves alternation between sessile cells and flagellated swarmer cells.

• Verrucomicrobia

  • The PVC group includes Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Poribacteria and OP3.
  • In addition, a conserved protein of unknown function is present in all sequenced species from the phyla Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae, Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia.
  • The Planctomycetes may be basal to the Chlamydiae-Verrucomicrobia-Lentisphaerae clade.
  • Like the Planctomycetes species, Verrucomicrobia possess a compartmentalised cell plan with a condensed nucleoid and the ribosomes pirellulosome (enclosed by the intracytoplasmic membrane) and paryphoplasm compartment between the intracytoplasmic membrane and cytoplasmic membrane.

• Anammox

  • The bacteria that perform the anammox process belong to the bacterial phylum Planctomycetes (e.g.
