Abstract: 

The arrangement of content follows a phylogenetic framework or road map based largely on analyses of nucleotide sequences of the ribosomal small subunit RNA rather than on phenotypic data. Implicit in the use of the road map are the convictions that prokaryotes have a phylogeny and that phylogeny matters. However, phylogenies, like other experimentally derived hypotheses, are not static but may change whenever new data and/or improved methods of analysis become available. Thus, the large increases in data have led to a re-evaluation of the road map. Not surprisingly, the taxonomic hierarchy has been modified or newly interpreted for a number of taxonomic units.
