The Prokaryotes: Vol. 6: Proteobacteria: Gamma Subclass

by Martin Dworkin (Editor)

Another important step was taken with the second edition in 1992, when the chapters were organized on the basis of the molecular phylogeny as a rational, evolutionary basis for the taxonomy of the prokaryotes. By then, the two volumes of the first edition had expanded to four.
