SUMMARY:Leopoldina-Symposium "Recent Advances in Microbial Taxonomy"
DESCRIPTION:The basic task of microbial taxonomy is to differentiate microo
 rganisms. In the 1870s, Ferdinand Cohn first proposed bacterial subdivision
 s, albeit based on morphological criteria only. (cf. Leopoldina Symposium “
 Bacterial Pathogenesis – Modern Approaches”, 1999). Since then, taxonomy ha
 s made substantial progress: from the first edition of Bergey`s Manual of D
 eterminative Bacteriology in 1923 (which used morphological and biochemical
  markers) to the present-day molecular based methods such as DNA-DNA hybrid
 ization, 16S rRNA sequencing, and the use of polyphasic taxonomy and of typ
 ing systems. This symposium will highlight some of the applications of thes
 e methods including genomics and proteomics and their use for a variety of 
 purposes, e.g., genus and species delineation, analysis of as yet uncultura
 ble bacteria, and communities of microorganisms. It will also present data 
 on viral and parasitic taxonomy. A complete review of the field is not inte
 nded. Emphasis will also be on possible future developments.
