In spite of their apparently consistent classical systematic scheme the phototropic bacteria are, as 16S-rRNA oligonucleotide cataloguing and sequencing have shown, deeply split into phylogenetic divisions of very little relationships between one another. Phototrophy as a mode of energy metabolism occurs in the phylogenetic divisions of a) "Gram-positive eubacteria", b) "Cyanobacteria/Chloroplasts", c) "Green Sulfur Bacteria", d) "Chloroflexus and related taxa", and e) "Purple Bacteria and related taxa", i.e. in five of the nine phylogenetic divisions of eubacteria. The arising disagreements are discussed and an attempt is made towards a stepwise reconciliation of taxonomy with phylogeny. The strong and the weak points in the taxonomy of phototrophic eubacteria are pointed out within the existing families. Emphasis is given to areas where taxonomic studies are urgently needed.
尽管光合细菌有着明显一致的经典分类系统，但正如16S - rRNA寡核苷酸编目和测序所显示的那样，它们在系统发育上被深深地划分为彼此之间关系甚微的不同类别。作为一种能量代谢方式的光合营养，存在于以下系统发育类别中：a）“革兰氏阳性真细菌”，b）“蓝细菌/叶绿体”，c）“绿色硫细菌”，d）“绿弯菌属及相关类群”，以及e）“紫色细菌及相关类群”，即在真细菌的九个系统发育类别中的五个类别中。文中讨论了由此产生的分歧，并尝试逐步使分类学与系统发育相协调。在现有的科内指出了光合真细菌分类学中的优点和不足。重点强调了迫切需要进行分类学研究的领域。
