But they are both the same type of critter as they are bacteria just different versions.
By that it would be the same as saying all animals, plants & fungi are just different versions of the same thing. Bacteria are all the same as eukaryota (animals, plants & fungi) are all the same.
There are 8 listed groups of bacteria:
Firmicutes - Low G + C gram poitive
Actinobacteria - High G + C gram positive
Eobactreia - green non-sulphur
Cyanobacteris - green photosynthetic bacteria
Planctobacteria - example Chlamydia
Proteobacteria - example E. coli
Sphingobacteria - Green Sulphurs
Spirochetes -

Each of these are equilivant to Animals, Plants, Fungi, Slime molds, Microsporia, Entaoeba, Flagellates, Ciliates, Trichomonads & Diplomonads of the Eukaryota.
