| 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 |

| CELLULAR | 
| Staining | |
| Morphology | cell aggregates range from compact irrregular masses to filamentous massess with either uniseriate or irregularly mutliseriate filaments | 
| Motility | baeocytes are motile | 
| Specialized structures | baeocytes are produced some by multiple internal divisions of either the aggregate of cells or from the filaments | 
| Division | binary fission in several planes give rise to irregular masses of cells |
