<i>Kolteria novifilia,</i> a novel planctomycetotal strain from the volcanic habitat of Panarea divides by unusual lateral budding
We describe a novel family of the underrepresented bacterial phylum <i>Planctomycetota</i> that divides by unusual lateral budding. Our strain is the only validly described species that uses this mode of cell division. Furthermore, it represents the only planctomycete outside of the anammox bacteria that has an S-layer-like structure. Taken together, the novel family shows a novel mechanism of cell division that could only be studied in this species.
