Summary Introduction
To review:
The unique cell structure of Planctomyces and the traits of planctomycete cells analogous to the aspects of eukaryotic cells.
Introduction:
Planctomyces is a phylum of bacterial domain. It lacks peptidoglycan in the cell wall. These organisms evolve as free-living. They are found in marine, aquatic, as well as saline environments. Budding is a means of reproduction in planctomycete cells as the mobile cells (flagellated) move in water to get attached to the base and start reproduction. Planctomyces require nutrition at tremendously low concentrations.

Some literature lists the 4 groups of protozoans as: 1) Flagellates 2) Amoebas 3) Ciliates 4) Sporozoans But other sources list the 4 groups as: 1) Flagellates 2) Amoebas 3) Heliozoans 4) Ciliates Compare and contrast heliozoans vs. sporozoans. Explain why one would replace the other in literature sources.
