Through oligonucleotide signature analysis of 16S ribosomal RNAs, it is possible to define ten major groups of eubacteria. These are: (1) the Gram positive bacteria, (2) the purple photosynthetic bacteria and their relatives, (3) the spirochetes and their relatives, (4) the sulfur-dependent eubacteria and their relatives, (5) the bacteroides, flavobacteria and cytophagas and their relatives, (6) the cyanobacteria, (7) the green sulfur bacteria, (8) the green non-sulfur bacteria and their relatives, (9) the radio-resistant micrococci, and (10) the planctomyces and their relatives. Although no consensus exists as regards the taconomic terminology, these ten groupings are appropriately termed eubacterial Phyla or Divisions. The major subdivisions of those Phyla or Divisions that have been extensively characterized can also be defined by characteristic oligonucleotide signatures.
通过对16S核糖体RNA进行寡核苷酸特征分析，可以确定真细菌的十个主要类别。它们是：(1)革兰氏阳性菌，(2)紫色光合细菌及其亲缘种，(3)螺旋体及其亲缘种，(4)依赖硫的真细菌及其亲缘种，(5)拟杆菌、黄杆菌和噬纤维菌及其亲缘种，(6)蓝细菌，(7)绿色硫细菌，(8)绿色非硫细菌及其亲缘种，(9)抗辐射微球菌，以及(10)浮霉菌及其亲缘种。尽管在分类学术语方面尚无共识，但这十个分类可恰当地称为真细菌门或纲。那些已被广泛表征的门或纲的主要亚类也可通过特征性寡核苷酸特征来定义。
