Unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes ordinarily reproduce by the asexual process of cell division. Their occasional gene transfers do not show a sharp species boundary: the transfer simply becomes less efficient the greater the evolutionary separation between the donor and the recipient. Prokaryotes therefore have no true species: they have an almost continuous spectrum of genetic patterns, and the borders between what we call bacterial species are arbitrary and often controversial. E. coli, for example, is the name given to a range of strains with certain common features but also with a variety of differences, and these differences determine their relative Darwinian...
