[Taxacom] Diversity of bacteria

[brpatric at dwu.edu]

Hi Hideaki et al.,

Thank you for the link!  

I am a bit unclear-- does this cover only the Domain Bacteria, or does
it include Archaeobacteria?  The notes of section V seem to indicate
that both are included.  I am confused because in section V it says that
there is one kingdom (which, I assume, is Bacteria), but in the notes it
talks about the Domains (empires) Bacteria and Archaeobacteria, and
takes the number from just above and dissects it a bit to break apart
these two domains.

Clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards, Brian

Hello!



Does anyone know the latest estimate on the number of described species
of bacteria?  How about prokaryotes as a whole?  Are there any estimates
for the number of undescribed species of prokaryotes?



Thanks for your time!



Best regards, Brian
