Research Notes on Planctomycetes
Planctomycetes are free living bacteria which possess a unique and perplexing body plan that are known to lack peptidoglycan in their cell walls.1 They have fimbriae and flagella and are divided by budding.2 They may exist free living or associated with invertebrates in marine habitats rich with organic nutrients.3
Fast Facts:
- They appear to have a nuclear membrane.1
- They seem relatively resistant to streptomycin, which inhibits protein synthesis.3
- They are but one ray of the main radiation of bacteria, and specifically related to the chlamydiae and verrucomicrobia.2
