This is an entry page for exploration of bacterial systematics. The primary feature of the page is a cladogram of bacterial lineages with links to information pages for each lineage. There is also a brief discussion of the challenges in classifying of bacteria, and a link to a tutorial on phylogenetics and systematics. The information on this and most linked pages would be accessible to advanced secondary or higher level students.
