Branching order of bacterial phyla (Battistuzzi et al., 2004)

There are several models of the Branching order of bacterial phyla, one of these was proposed in 2004 by Battistuzzi and Hedges,^[1][2] note the coinage of the taxa Terrabacteria and Hydrobacteria.

	Archaea
	Thermotogae Aquificae Fusobacteria Hydrobacteria Polyphyletic PVC group  Spirochaetes  Planctomycetes   Chlamydiae  FCB group Chlorobi Bacteroidetes Paraphyletic Proteobacteria  Epsilonproteobacteria   Solibacteres  Deltaproteobacteria  Alphaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria Gammaproteobacteria   Terrabacteria Actinobacteria Deinococcus-Thermus Cyanobacteria Chloroflexi Firmicutes
