Provides a comprehensive view of the Proteobacteria, the largest prokaryotic phylum. Encompassing 72 families and including descriptions of 425 genera and over 1875 named species, this volume will be subdivided into three sub-volumes.

One of the most authoritative works in bacterial taxonomy, this resource has been extensively revised. This five volume second edition has been reorganized along phylogenetic lines to reflect the current state of prokaryotic taxonomy. In addition to the detailed treatments provided for all of the validly named and well-known species of prokaryotes, this edition includes new ecological information and more extensive introductory chapters.
