    • 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.
