The Planctomycetia: an overview of the currently largest class within the phylum Planctomycetes
2022
Overview
The phylum Planctomycetes comprises bacteria with uncommon features among prokaryotes, such as cell division by budding, absence of the bacterial tubulin-homolog cell division protein FtsZ and complex cell plans with invaginations of the cytoplasmic membrane. Although planctomycetes are ubiquitous, the number of described species and isolated strains available as axenic cultures is still low compared to the diversity observed in metagenomes or environmental studies. An increasing interest in planctomycetes is reflected by the recent description of a large number of new species and their increasing accessibility in terms of pure cultures. In this review, data from all taxonomically described species belonging to Planctomycetia, the class with the currently highest number of characterized members within the phylum Planctomycetes, is summarized. Phylogeny, morphology, physiology, ecology and genomic traits of its members are discussed. This comprehensive overview will help to acknowledge several aspects of the biology of these fascinating bacteria.
