Unique features of the planctomycetes include ______.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Planctomycetes have a unique membrane-bound nuclear region called the paryphoplasm that is separate from the cytoplasm. This is in contrast to most bacteria, which have a nucleoid region where their genetic material is located, but no membrane-bound nucleus. Resistance to ionizing radiation and twitching fimbriae for motility are not unique to Planctomycetes. While some Planctomycetes are larger than typical bacteria, they are generally still much smaller than protozoa.
