Entry term(s) bacterias purpúreas
Scope note: Clase de bacterias que engloba a la bacteria púrpura y sus semejantes, y que constituye una de las ramas del árbol eubacteriano. Este grupo lo forman predominantemente bacterias gramnegativas que se clasifican en base a la homología de las secuencias de nucleótidos equivalentes del 16S ARN ribosómico o por hibridización del ARN ribosómico o del ADN con 16S y 23S ARN ribosómico.
