Abstract Members of the bacterial phylum Planctomycetota have recently emerged as promising and for most part untapped sources novel bioactive compounds. The characterization more than 100 species in last decade stimulated recent bioprospection studies that start to unveil chemical repertoire phylum. In this study, we performed systematic bioinformatic analyses based on genomes all 131 described members current focusing identification type III polyketide synthase (PKS) genes. Type PKSs are...
Abstract In the present study, we characterise a strain isolated from wastewater aeration lagoon of sugar processing plant in Schleswig (Northern Germany) by Heinz Schlesner. As pioneer planctomycetal research, he numerous strains belonging to phylum Planctomycetota aquatic habitats around world. Phylogenetic analyses show that SH412 T belongs family Planctomycetaceae and shares with 91.6% highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity Planctopirus limnophila DSM 3776 . Its genome has length 7.3...
The unique cell biology presented by members of the phylum
Recent sampling and strain isolation campaigns have accelerated research on the bacterial phylum Planctomycetota. The contribution of more than 100 novel isolates to open collection currently 123 described planctomycetal species in last decade benefited greatly from pioneering work conducted second half century. One those pioneers was Heinz Schlesner, who investigated budding prosthecate bacteria habitats world-wide during his time at Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel. An outcome a with...
