Week 1- LAB MICROBIAL TAXONOMY Flashcards
Properly use the binomial nomenclature in the identificationo forganisms. including syntax, capitalization, andpunctuation.
Microbial taxonomy
Identify the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of microorganisms.
Microbial taxonomy
Describe how microbial taxonomy plays a role in diagnostic settings.
Microbial taxonomy
- Describe the basic structure of prokaryotic genetic material.
• Describe the role of mutations in t h e evolution and survival of microorganism
Bacterial genetica and metabolism
• State the functions nbdiologic sign icance prokaryotic cellular structures.
• Differentiate the cel wal of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Bacterial structure
3 types of TAXONOMY

Nomenclature
It includes nomenclature, identification, and classification
The Trinity of Taxonomy
What are the Hierarchical Classification System
SPECIES

Relate to an organism genetic make up including the nature of the organisms genes and constituent nucleic acids
Genotypic characteristics
Are based on features beyond the genetic level and include both readily observable characteristics and characteristics that may require extensive analytic procedures to be detected .
Phenotypic characteristics
It includes
-DNA base composition ratio
- Nucleic acid (RNA and DNA) base sequence analysis, including hybridization assays.
Genotypic characteristics
It includes :
- macroscopic and microscopic morphology
- staining character
- environmental and nutritional requirements
- resistance profile
- antigenic properties
- subcellular properties
Phenotypic characteristics
