Probabilistic Models for Bacterial Taxonomy

International Statistical Review / Revue Internationale de Statistique, 2001
SummaryWe give a survey of different partitioning methods that have been applied to bacterial taxonomy. We introduce a theoretical framework, which makes it possible to treat the various models in a unified way. The key concepts of our approach are prediction and storing of microbiological information in a Bayesian forecasting setting.

Bacterial taxonomy

2005
Abstract Taxonomy is the term given to the systematic classification, naming, and identification of living organisms. Bacterial taxonomy is often thought of as a complex but ‘necessary evil’, that is uninteresting to learn and overwhelms many students.

Safety assessment of dairy microorganisms: Bacterial taxonomy

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2008
Safety assessment requires uniform and reproducible nomenclature schemes for all the micro-organisms deliberately added in fermented food products. The QPS approach described by EFSA is based on the identity of an isolate at the highest taxonomic unit that is appropriate for the purpose for which the evaluation is intended.

Lipids in Bacterial Taxonomy - A Taxonomist's View

CRC Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1977
AbstractWritten from a taxonomist's point of view and aimed primarily at other taxonomists, this review covers the types of lipids found in bacteria and actinomycetes, especially those reported in the recent literature, including fatty acids; glycerides; phospholipids; glycolipids; and amino acid-containing lipids including peptidolipids ...

Zone Electrophoresis of Enzymes in Bacterial Taxonomy

Journal of Bacteriology, 1969
The electrophoretic mobilities in starch gels have been determined for eight enzymes in extracts of representative cultures of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae . These values were compared with each other and with those obtained from certain bacteria not in this family.

Bayesian predictiveness, exchangeability and sufficientness in bacterial taxonomy

Mathematical Biosciences, 2002
We present a theory of classification and predictive identification of bacteria. Bacterial strains are characterized by a binary vector and the taxonomy is specified by attaching a label to each vector. The theory is developed from only two basic assumptions, viz.

Sense and Nonsense in Bacterial Taxonomy

Journal of General Microbiology, 1971
Summary: Classifications cannot be final, and the same group of organisms may be sorted and arranged in many different ways. The species is man-made, and since it cannot be defined the creation of taxa of higher categories based on species makes an absurd situation.
