Planctomycetes is a phylum of bacteria notable for internal membrane-bound compartments, a feature unusual among bacteria and more commonly associated with more complex cells. Members typically reproduce by budding rather than simple cell division, and some species carry out anaerobic ammonium oxidation, a process important to the nitrogen cycle.
