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 …

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 …

The phylum Planctomycetes is involved in important processes, such as the mineralization
of algal biomass and the removal of nitrogen. Using a combination of 16S rRNA sequence …

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 …

Planctomycetes are a phylogenetic group of bacteria with complex cell organization, large
genomes and a wide spectrum of genome-encoded secondary metabolites. As suggested …

Extensive knowledge and methodological expertise on the bacterial cell biology have been
accumulated over the last decades and bacterial cells have now become an integral part of …

Marine environments are a fruitful source of bioactive compounds some of which are the
newest leading drugs in medicinal therapeutics. Of particular importance are organisms like …

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 …

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 …
