Branching order of bacterial phyla (Battistuzzi et al., 2004)

There are several models of the Branching order of bacterial phyla, one of these was proposed in 2004 by Battistuzzi and Hedges,[1][2] note the coinage of the taxa Terrabacteria and Hydrobacteria.

Archaea

Thermotogae

Aquificae

Fusobacteria

Hydrobacteria
Polyphyletic PVC group

Spirochaetes

Planctomycetes

Chlamydiae

FCB group

Chlorobi

Bacteroidetes

Paraphyletic Proteobacteria

Epsilonproteobacteria

Solibacteres

Deltaproteobacteria

Alphaproteobacteria

Betaproteobacteria

Gammaproteobacteria

Terrabacteria

Actinobacteria

Deinococcus-Thermus

Cyanobacteria

Chloroflexi

Firmicutes
