The book is divided into three sections - classification, nomenclature, and identification. The authors are world leaders in the field and many are involved in the "Bergey's manual," which is the bible of the field.

This book provides some insights into how current methods and resources are being used in microbial systematics, together with some thoughts and suggestions as to how both methodologies and concepts may develop in the future.

In this book, we survey and discuss in depth the contribution of modern taxonomic approaches to our understanding of the microbiology of these various systems.

Comprised of 16 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the origins of modern numerical taxonomy, with emphasis on the collaboration between P. H. A. Sneath and R. R. Sokal as well as the controversy concerning optimality ...

DNA reassociation and base composition. Plasmids. Progress in classification and identification of neisseriaceae based on genetic affinity. Numerical methods. Micromorphology. Lipid composition of acid-fast bacteria.

Inspired by the pace of change in the taxonomy of the aerobic endospore-forming bacteria, the "Bacillus 2000" symposium on which this book is based was held in Bruges, Belgium, in August 2000, and was supported by the Federation of European ...

Rules of nomenclature with recommendations. Advisory notes.

" Alphabetical arrangement under genera, species, and subspecies. Each entry gives names, original source, strain designation, and when applicable, reference to the 8th edition of Bergey's Manual of determinative bacteriology, 1974

Annotation Published since 1959, 'Advances in Applied Microbiology' offers comprehensive reviews of the latest techniques and discoveries in this rapidly moving field.
