Description
This introductory text level aims to cover the principles and methods for the classification and identification of bacteria. The subject of bacterial systematics is a complex and difficult one, yet an understanding is important to every microbiologist. The text includes glossary details of modern taxonomic methods using molecular biology techniques and a glossary of taxonomic terms. The editors and authors are renowned authorities on bacterial taxonomy - many are involved in the Bergey's manual trust - and all are experienced teachers of the subject. This book provides microbiologists with a comprehensive treatment of the concepts ideas and methods that make up the subject of modern bacterial systematics. The book is divided into three sections: classification, nomenclature and identification.
