A single strain of a budding bacterium was isolated from freshwater. The strain had a life-cycle, with a multitrichous swarmer stage, and produced a phase-dark inclusion of packed ribosomes and nuclear material. The mol % G + C of the DNA was 64.4 +/- 1.0. A new genus, Gemmata with the type species Gemmata obscuriglobus is proposed. The type strain is UQM 2246.

Axenic cultures of two strains, JC673 and JC717, both belonging to the phylum , were isolated from distinct geographical locations in India. Strain JC673 was obtained from algal mats of a wetland situated in the state of Kerala, India, while strain JC717 originated from the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), state of Tamil Nadu, India. The two strains share 99.

Membrane coat proteins are essential players in the eukaryotic endomembrane traffic system. Previous work identified proteins with the membrane-coat architecture in prokaryotes, specifically in the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum, bacteria that display the most developed prokaryotic endomembrane system. Hence, the membrane coat-like (MCL) proteins are predicted to play a central role in this system but their actual function is still unknown.

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 characterized by large genome sizes and cosmopolitan distribution in freshwater and terrestrial environments but their ecological functions remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized a novel representative of this family, strain PL17, which was isolated from a littoral tundra wetland and was capable of growth on xylan and cellulose. Cells of this isolate were represented by pink-pigmented spheres that multiplied by budding and occurred singly or in short chains and aggregates.

Bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes have a unique cell plan with an elaborate intracellular membrane system, thereby resembling eukaryotic cells. The origin and evolution of these remarkable features is debated. To study the evolutionary genomics of bacteria with complex cell architectures, we have resequenced the 9.
