Abstract
Several unusual features have been reported for bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and an endocytosis-like process. Here, Boedekeret al. provide evidence supporting a Gram-negative cell plan and the absence of endocytosis-like processes in these organisms.
