Cyanobacteria classification

In contrast, SIMCA uses principal components analysis to model object classes in the reduced number of dimensions. It calculates multidimensional boxes of varying size and shape to represent the class categories. Unknown samples are classified according to their Euclidean space proximity to the nearest multidimensional box. Kansiz et al. used both KNN and SIMCA for classification of cyanobacteria based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).44...

The biological classification schemes for bacteria and archaea are still being developed because of the rapid pace of new discoveries in genomics. The two most important phyla of marine bacteria are the cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic, and the proteobacteria. The latter include some photosynthetic species, such as the purple photosynthetic bacteria and N2 fixers. Other members of this diverse phylum are the methanotrophs, nitrifiers, hydrogen, sulfur and iron oxidizers, sulfete and sulfur reducers, and various bioluminescent species. 

Monera Prokaryotic kingdom that includes (in the most widely accepted classification system) archaebacteria, eubacteria, and cyanobacteria. Members of this kingdom were among the first forms of life over 3.5 billion years ago. 

Currently, the most widely accepted system of classification of organisms is the five-kingdom system (Table 3-3) of Whittaker (1969). Prokaryotic organisms are placed in the Kingdom Monera, which includes the bacteria and cyanobacteria whose... 

Prokaryotes consist only of bacteria and cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae). The classification of prokaryotes is in the diagram below.
