B) prosthecae appendages
C) sheathlike toga cell envelopes
D) tubulins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Planctomycetes and Verrucomicrobia are known for their unique intracellular compartmentalization, which is rare in bacteria outside of these two phyla. Prosthecae appendages are common in other bacterial phyla such as Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria. Sheath-like toga cell envelopes are found in the phylum Chloroflexi. Tubulins are not unique to these two phyla and are found in many eukaryotes as well.
