Background Planctomyces brasiliensis is a member of the order Planctomycetales, a group of budding mostly aquatic microorganisms lacking peptidoglycan and representing a phylogenetically distinct lineage within the domain Bacteria. The planctomycetes share a number of morphological features, having spherical or ovoid cells which bear crateriform structures and, in some cases, nonprosthecate appendages. Planctomyces have a distinct cell cycle, with sessile mother cells forming stalks that attach to surfaces or to other stalks and motile daughter cells that bud from the mother cell. Mother cells are spherical to ovoid with stalks composed of twisted fibrils. The diameter of the mother cell is 1.1 to 1.5 um. Multiplication occurs by budding on the distal cell pole, yielding daughter cells which are mono-trichously and polarly flagellated. Cells have rigid stalk fibers and can form multicellular rosettes. Although it lacks peptidoglycan it has a cell envelope which consists almost entirely of protein which is rich in proline and cysteine and is stabilized to a high degree by disulfide bonds. P.brasiliensis was first isolated in 1982 in water from a salt pit, Lagoa Vermelha, Brazil (adapted from PMID 17978240 and DOI=10.4056/sigs.1052813). (EBI Integr8)
