All Bacterial Classes

Bacterial Classes is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the classes of bacteria, proteobacteria, bacilli, clostridia, actinomycetes and spirochetes. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that it is a class of bacteria. It excludes archaeal and eukaryote classes. Members are placed by the classification their cited article gives, not by common name or appearance alone.
