Apuntes

Identification – Chemotaxonomy • Nomenclature • The International Code for Prokaryotes Nomenclature • Microbial cell wall composition • Analysis of Cell Lipids: Fatty Acids Methyl Esters (FAMEs) • MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry Applied to Classification and Identification of Bacteria Microrganism Identification commonly used for identifying microorganisms and obtaining pure cultures, they may not provide a comprehensive understanding of microbial biodiversity Microscopy allows for the analysis of shape, motion tracking, and classification of biological objects, yet it alone is insufficient, small, life/dead, laborious and time- consuming nature, difficulty in interpretation Standards for description of new taxa within the families Bifidobacteriaceae Lactobacillaceae Aerococcaceae Carnobacteriaceae Enterococcaceae Leuconostocaceae Mattarelli et al., 2014 Mattarelli, P., H.
