Microbial Diversity in the Genomic Era
presents insights on the techniques used for microbial taxonomy and
phylogeny, along with their applications and respective pros and cons.
Though many advanced techniques for the identification of any unknown
bacterium are available in the genomics era, a far fewer number of the
total microbial species have been discovered and identified to date. The
assessment of microbial taxonomy and biosystematics techniques
discovered and practiced in the current genomics era with suitable
recommendations is the prime focus of this book.
- Discusses the techniques used for microbial taxonomy and phylogeny with their applications and respective pros and cons
- Reviews
the evolving field of bacterial typing and the genomic technologies
that enable comparative analysis of multiple genomes and the metagenomes
of complex microbial environments
- Provides a uniform, standard methodology for species designation
