This is the first book on bacterial systematics at the
undergraduate level. The first part explains why bacteria are
classified and how they are named. It also covers the practice of
classification, including evolutionary studies and identification.
The applications of these methods are illustrated in the second
part of the book, which describes progress in the classification
and identification of the spirochaetes, helical and curved
bacteria, Gram-negative aerobic, facultative and strictly anaerobic
bacteria, Gram-positive cocci, rods and endospore formers,
mycoplasmas, and actinomycetes, and outlines the importance of
these organisms.
* The first book on this topic at undergraduate level
* Includes evolutionary studies and the Archaea
* Covers theory and practice of bacterial classification and
identification
* User-friendly style and profuse illustrations
