MeSH definition : A phylum of bacteria consisting of the purple bacteria and their relatives which form
a branch of the eubacterial tree. This group of predominantly gram-negative bacteria
is classified based on homology of equivalent nucleotide sequences of 16S ribosomal
RNA or by hybridization of ribosomal RNA or DNA with 16S and 23S ribosomal RNA.;
