A gram-negative, budding, catalase negative, oxidase positive and non-motile bacterium (MBLW1) with a complex endomembrane system has been isolated from a freshwater lake in southeast Queensland, Australia. Phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis places the strain within the family Planctomycetaceae, related to Zavarzinella formosa (93.3 %), Telmatocola sphagniphila (93.3 %) and Gemmata obscuriglobus (91.9 %). Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analysis demonstrates considerable differences to the type strains of the related genera. MBLW1 displays modest salt tolerance and grows optimally at pH values of 7.5-8.0 and at temperatures of 32-36 °C. Transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrates the presence of a complex endomembrane system, however, without the typically condensed nucleoid structure found in related genera. The major fatty acids are 16 : 1 ω5c, 16 : 0 and 18 : 0. Based on discriminatory results from 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, phenotypic, biochemical and chemotaxonomic analysis, MBLW1 should be considered as a new genus and species, for which the name Tuwongella immobilis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MBLW1 (=CCUG 69661=DSM 105045).

The bacteria have unique cell architectures with heavily invaginated membranes as confirmed by three-dimensional models reconstructed from FIB-SEM images of and . The subcellular proteome of was examined by differential solubilization followed by LC-MS/MS analysis, which identified 1569 proteins in total. The Tris-soluble fraction contained mostly cytoplasmic proteins, while inner and outer membrane proteins were found in the Triton X-100 and SDS-soluble fractions, respectively.

Planctomycetes of the family Gemmataceae are strictly aerobic chemo-organotrophs that display a number of hydrolytic capabilities. A member of this family, Telmatocola sphagniphila SP2, is the first described planctomycete with experimentally proven ability for growth on cellulose. In this study, the complete genome sequence of strain SP2 was obtained and the genome-encoded determinants of its cellulolytic potential were analyzed.

Bacteria of the Planctomycetes phylum have many unique cellular features, such as extensive membrane invaginations and the ability to import macromolecules. These features raise intriguing questions about the composition of their cell envelopes. In this study, we have used microscopy, phylogenomics, and proteomics to examine the composition and evolution of cell envelope proteins in Tuwongella immobilis and other members of the Planctomycetes.
