- Some members of Planococcus are previously species belonging to Planomicrobium. (wikipedia.org)
- Instead of branching with species from Planomicrobum, these species formed a monophyletic branch with members of Planococcus in various phylogenetic trees constructed based on conserved genome sequences, indicating their phylogenetic relatedness. (wikipedia.org)
- These molecular signatures provide a reliable method for differentiating Planococcus species from other genera within the family Caryophanaceae and all other bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
