UNIT 1 Taxonomy Flashcards
organism population that is differentiated from populations
within species
Strains
Father of Taxonomy
CAROLUS LINNAEUS
Uses the separation and analysis of high abundance peptides for the classification and identification of bacterial isolates
MALDI-TOF-MS
Subspecies types:
- Strains
- Biovars
- Serovars
Family name Suffix
–aceae
Hierarchical Classification:
- DOMAIN
- KINGDOM
- DIVISION or Phylum
- CLASS
- ORDER
- FAMILY
- TRIBE
- GENUS
- SPECIES (EPITHET)
- SUBSPECIES
The most basic taxonomic group
SPECIES (EPITHET)
variation in serological reactions; strains with distinctive antigenic properties
Serovars
Binomial classification
CAROLUS LINNAEUS
CARL WOESE (1971) Basis of Classification:
■ Cellular Organization
■ Function
Order name Suffix
–ales
principles for defining natural genera and
species of organisms, known as
“Binomial
Nomenclature” or Binomial classification
MALDI-TOF MS
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-Of-Flight ass Spectrometry
CARL WOESE (1971) Divided the organisms into 3 Domain System:
■ Bacteria
■ Eukaria
■ Archaea (ancient bacteria)
variant prokaryotic strains characterized by biochemical or
physiological differences
Biovars
