Evidence from the Cytoloǵy of of a Relationship with and the Bacillaceae Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: The structure of the cell envelopes in and the behaviour and mode of formation of the spore-like cysts suggest that this organism has a close phylogenetic relationship with the Bacillaceae, and that accordingly the main genera of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, , and , have a relatively recent common origin.
