Taxonomy

Taxonomy

1. Nomenclature

   • Rule
     • 1.genus name capitalize
     • 2.species name never capitalize
     • 3.species name never use without genus name
     • 4.Genus and species always italic/underline
   • process
     • 1.run extensive test.
     • 2.new bacteria-give name
     • 3.publish description in INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY
     • 4.Deposited in culture collection bank
     • 5.description incorperated in Bergey's Manual

2. classification

   • Genotypic classification
     • compare genetic similarity between organism
   • Phenetic Classification
     • grouped based on mutual similarity
       • Numerical Taxonomy
         • simple matching coefficient
         • Jaccard coefficient
   • Phylogenetic classification
     • compare organism based on evolutionary r/ship
     • base on specific gene e.g 16s rRNA or 18 s rRNA

3. Identification

   • classical characteristics
     • morphological characteristics
       • physiological and metabolic characteristic
         • Biochemical characteristics
           • ecological characteristic
   • Molecular Characteristics
     • comparison protein/amino acid sequence
       • nucleic acid composition (GC content)
         • nucleic acid hybridization
           • nucleic acid sequencing
             • genomic fingerprinting
