HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE KINGDOM FIRMICUTAE (MARGULIS 1974)
| EUBACTERIA> FIRMICUTAE |
KINGDOM FIRMICUTAE LINKS
| This is a higher-level classification of the Kingdom Firmicutae following minor modification of Garrity et al. (2001 and 2003). We use the structure of Stackebrandt et al. (1997) with the modification of Hugenholtz and Stackebrandt (2004). |
