Planctomycetes: Cell Structure, Origins and Biology

Planctomycetes, and their relatives within the PVC superphylum of domain Bacteria,  including verrucomicrobia and chlamydia,  challenge our classical concept of the bacterium and its modes of life and provide new experimental models for exploring evolutionary cell biology and the full diversity of h...
