Planctomycetaceae is the only family in the order Planctomycetales within the Bacteria.^[3] Species within this family are mostly spherical, inhabiting a vast array of aquatic environments with the majority being in marine ecosystems.^[4] Planctomycetaceae species are generally aerobic, but are uniquely classified by fatty acid synthesis and stalk-like formations.^[5]
