A survey of bacterial genomes suggests that the diversity within recognized species is constrained by a force of cohesion. However, recognized bacterial species do not adhere to another species-like property-that of being the newest lineages that can coexist indefinitely.
一项对细菌基因组的调查表明，在公认的物种内，多样性受到一种凝聚力的限制。然而，公认的细菌物种并不具有另一种类似于物种的特性——即能够无限期共存的最新谱系。
