The number of species is harder to pin down. Some scientists think that there are far more prokaryotic species than all eukaryotic organisms combined, whereas others think that it’s the reverse.

Phylogeny is measured by comparing the genetic code in each organism. There are several ways to do this, which are summarized in Chapter 11.©There are three domai Ebook Microbiology: Part 2ns of life: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, and within each 1 are several phyla. A phylum is a major evolutionary division that is then divided againEbook Microbiology: Part 2

For this reason, kingdom isn't used in this chapter.Getting to Know the BacteriaOf the two domains of prokaryotes, the Bacteria are the Ebook Microbiology: Part 2best studied and contain all known prokaryotic pathogens.

This might be because members have be Ebook Microbiology: Part 2en swapping DNA and have taken on traits that other bacteria had to evolve.
