[Use of data from DNA-DNA hybridization and analysis of 16S rRNA genes for resolving taxonometric problems using the order Haloanaerobiales as an example].
In this review, the validity of evolutionary conclusions inferred from the quantitative estimates of the similarity between bacterial genes is evaluated using the order Halonanaerobiales as an example. The haloanaerobic phenotype is briefly characterized, as are some specific features that allow the order Haloanaerobiales to serve as a reference taxon. Phylogenetic analysis provides a set of standard quantitative criteria for ranking bacterial taxa, from species to families. Recommendations for the use of these standard criteria are given.
