Background: Planctomycetota isolation in pure culture is still challenging with most of the
reported data coming from molecular-based methods. Here, we intended to isolate …

The discovery of new bioactive compounds is an invaluable aid to the development of new
drugs. Strategies for finding novel molecules can focus on the exploitation of less studied …

Antimicrobials are naturally produced by microbes and therefore have always been present
in their environment, as well as accompanying resistance mechanisms. The antibiotic …

Planctomycetes associated with 12 macroalgae from the north coast of Portugal were
isolated, using an improved method. A total of 138 isolates were found to comprise 10 …

Planctomycetes have been known since the description of Planctomyces bekefii by Gimesi
at the beginning of the twentieth century (1924), although the first axenic cultures were only …

Bacteria from the distinctive Planctomycetes phylum are well spread around the globe; they
are capable of colonizing many habitats, including marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and even …

An appealing strategy for finding novel bioactive molecules in Nature consists in exploring
underrepresented and-studied microorganisms. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial and …

Rhodopirellula baltica, an attached-living marine bacterium, was so far isolated as aerobic,
heterotrophic bacterium forming pink-to-red colonies on ampicillin-containing plates. But …

The increasing ecological significance of Planctomycetes and the still limited knowledge of
this group prompted us to obtain cultured isolates from the sediment of a treatment water …

Traditionally recognized as environmental bacteria, Planctomycetes have just been linked
recently to human pathology as opportunistic pathogens, arousing a great interest for clinical …
