EXCEPTIONAL GROUP. “Variations in prokaryotic genomes are rare except in the proteobacteria-derived genomes of mitochondria, where the universal code is almost never used. This contrasts with almost no known changes in the cyanobacteria-derived plastids, which may reflect deeper differences in the way mitochondrial genomes evolve, perhaps rooted in a high rate of substitution.”
