title: The phylogeny of prokaryotes.
abstract: Data from methods such as 5S RNA sequencing have enabled phylogenetic relationships within the prokaryotes to be determined. A basic evolutionary dichotomy is suggested by the diversion of the archaebacteria and the eubacteria. Possible inter-relationships of the former and eukaryotic organisms are discussed.
