Chapter 21.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
Planctomycetes form a discrete phylum under the bacterial domain. These bacteria are characterized with distinctive morphological features such as intracellular compartmentalization and absence of peptidoglycan. These bacteria undergo reproduction by budding. They are seen in aquatic habitats such as brackish water, marine as well as fresh water.
