    Notes: Abstract Cell envelopes were prepared from freeze-dried cells of 8 strains of budding bacteria belonging to the Pirella/Planctomyces group. Treatment with 10% sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) (30 min, 100°C) allowed the isolation of stable cell sacculi which still maintained the original cell shape. The chemical analysis showed, as the main component, protein which was unusually rich in proline and cystine. Except for Planctomyces maris IFAM 1317 (where this protein comprised 62.6% of the total envelope dry weight) the corresponding values for the other strains varied from 75 to 82%. Amino sugars and neutral sugars were present only in small amounts and uronic acids were not found. The ash content varied from 5 to 10% of the dry weight, except for IFAM 1317 which had 19% ash. The high content of cystine indicated a high degree of crosslinking of the cell envelopes through disulfide bonds. Our data show that bacteria of the Pirella/Planctomyces group possess a similar cell wall composition.

    Notes: Abstract Fatty acids of twelve strains of budding bacteria (Planctomyces and Pirellula spp.), which have atypical 16S rRNA and do not contain peptidoglycan cell walls, were shown to contain typical diacyl polar lipids with no indication of isoprenoid ether lipids suggestive of a relationship with the archaebacteria. The major ester-linked fatty acids of the phospholipids were palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids, which are more typical of microeukaryotes than of eubacteria. Lipopolysaccharide lipid A (LPS) was detected; it contained major proportions of long chain normal 3-OH fatty acids (3-OH eicosanoic at 23% and 17% of the total in two strains of Planctomyces, and 3-OH octadecanoic at 18%, and 3-OH palmitic at 11% of the total in one strain of Pirellula). Major portions of long chain 3-OH fatty acids in the LPS are extremely unusual and provide another atypical property of these organisms. Each strain investigated showed a specific total fatty acid composition, reflecting the diversity in 16S rRNA nucleotide catalogues.
