We perform an exhaustive, taxon by taxon, comparison of the branchings in the composition vector trees (CVTrees) inferred from 432 prokaryotic genomes available on 31 December 2006, with the bacteriologists' taxonomy--primarily the latest online Outline of the Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. The CVTree phylogeny agrees very well with the Bergey's taxonomy in majority of fine branchings and overall structures. At the same time most of the differences between the trees and the Manual have been known to biologists to some extent and may hint at taxonomic revisions. Instead of demonstrating the overwhelming agreement this paper puts emphasis on the biological implications of the differences.
我们对从2006年12月31日可用的432个原核生物基因组推断出的组成向量树（CVTrees）中的分支，逐个分类单元地进行了详尽的比较，并与细菌学家的分类法——主要是最新的在线《伯杰氏系统细菌学手册大纲》进行了比较。CVTree系统发育在大多数精细分支和整体结构上与伯杰氏分类法非常吻合。同时，树木与手册之间的大多数差异在某种程度上生物学家已经知晓，并且可能暗示分类学修订。本文并非展示压倒性的一致性，而是强调这些差异的生物学意义。
