Abstrakt: Helical bacteria from the generaSpirillum, Oceanospirillum, Aquaspirillum, andAzospirillum—as well asSerpens flexibilis—were characterized by oligonucleotide cataloging of 16S rRNA in order to establish their phylogenetic relationships to one another and to Gramnegative bacteria in general. The various genera of helical bacteria are not specifically related to one another (to the exclusion of nonhelical bacteria) and, where tested, the individual genera as presently constituted are not phylogenetically coherent (with the possible exception ofOceanospirillum, which may form a deep grouping).
