Phylogeny and morphology of bacteria exhibiting different modes of growth. rpoC sequences were aligned using MUSCLE v3.8.31 (Edgar, 2004). RAxML v7.0.4 (Stamatakis, 2006) reconstructed the maximum likelihood phylogeny using the JTT amino acid substitution matrix with rate variation among sites modeled by a four-category discrete gamma distribution and an additional invariant category. Note that the stalk of Planctomyces maris is composed of several parallel fibrils (Bauld and Staley, 1976), and is not bound by cell envelop layers like that of the Caulobacterales. Bacteria are not drawn to scale. Scale bar reflects numbers of substitutions per site.
