| Contrast | The photosynthetic or phototrophic bacteria can be broken into two major groups; the Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria that grow under anaerobic conditions and theOxygenic PhototrophicBacteria that use oxygen to carry out photosynthesis |

| Motility | |
| Specialized structures | each cell is surrounded by a distinct sheath which expands with each new cell division and thus the sheaths become multilaminated, no gas vesicles |
| Division | binary fission give rise to two equal sized daughter cells. Fission occurs in 2-3 planes, usually in succession and at right angle tot eh prior plane |
