A freshwater isolate from Campus Lake, Baton Rouge, LA, USA, strain ATCC
35122 (=ICPB 4362=Schmidt CLPM White=Tekniepe BT2 white), which had been
proposed as a putative reference strain for 'Planctomyces staleyi' (later
reclassified as Pirellula staleyi), has been re-examined to establish its
relationship to the type strain of Pirellula staleyi, ATCC 27377(T). 16S
rRNA sequencing confirms its very close relationship to ATCC 27377(T) and
its membership of the order Planctomycetales. Ultrastructural
characteristics are also consistent with its membership of the
planctomycetes and of the genus Pirellula. These characteristics include
polar crateriform structures and the occurrence of the unique internal,
single-membrane-bounded compartment enclosing the nucleoid and
ribosome-like particles, the pirellulosome, and a polar cap region. Cells
of strain ATCC 35122 often displayed pointed, hump-like protrusions
opposite each other on the cell, constituting prosthecae, and these were
also found to be present on cells of strain ATCC 27377(T). The original
identification of ATCC 35122 as a strain of Pirellula staleyi is confirmed
on both molecular and phenotypic grounds.
