Planctobacteria is a taxon created by Cavalier-Smith, specifically a division (phylum),[note 1] it is however not followed by the larger scientific community.[1]
Cavalier-Smith postulated that the Planctobacteria probably lost or reduced their peptidoglycan cell wall twice.[2]
In the Cavalier-Smith bacterial megaclassification, it is within the bacterial Gracilicutes infrakingdom and comprises three classes Chlamydiae, Lentisphaerae, Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia.[2][3] These three groups in the traditional molecular phylogeny view are considered as phyla and also cluster together in what is referred to as the PVC superphylum, along with the candidate phyla OP3 and the Poribacteria.[4]

Notes
- ^ Historically bacteria were considered plants consequently the usage of "division" over "phylum" was brought over when the kingdom Monera was established. The bacteriological code has since imposed that the rank should be phylum and not division. Nevertheless, Cavalier-Smith adopts the term division.
