What is a bacterium?
It is now clear that there are two distinct types of prokaryote: the bacteria proper and the Archea. Most of this book concerns the bacteria in the proper taxonomic sense, but some aspects are also relevant to Archea, especially where we consider the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It complicates the text too much to make this distinction, so we apologize if anyone is offended by occasional blurring of the lines between bacteria and prokaryotes
