Learning objectives:
Define taxonomy, taxon, and phylogeny
Discuss the limitations of a 2-kingdom classification system.
Taxonomy
• Taxonomy
• The science of classifying organisms
• Provides universal names for organisms
• Provides a reference for identifying organisms
• Goal of showing relationships among organisms
• Taxon
• Taxonomic categories to show similarities
among organisms
Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Taxonomy
• Systematics or phylogeny
• The study of the evolutionary history of
organisms and their relationships
• All Species Inventory (2001-2025)
• To identify all species of life on Earth
• Two-kingdom system not based upon natural
classification based upon ancestral
relationships (e.g., DNA sequencing places
fungi closer to animals than plants)

Taxonomy History
• 1735
Plant and Animal Kingdoms
• 1857
Bacteria & fungi put in the Plant Kingdom
• 1866
Kingdom Protista proposed for bacteria,
protozoa, algae, & fungi
• 1937
"Prokaryote" introduced for cells "without a
nucleus"
• 1961
Prokaryote defined as cells in which
nucleoplasm is not surrounded by a nuclear
membrane
• 1959
Kingdom Fungi
• 1968
Kingdom Prokaryotae proposed
• 1969
Organisms divided into five kingdoms
• 1978
Two types of prokaryotic cells found

Learning objectives: List the major taxa.
Taxonomic Hierarchy
Differentiate between culture, clone, and strain.
• Similar species are
grouped into a
genus; similar
genera are grouped
into a family, etc.

Species Definition
• Eukaryotic species:
• A group of closely related organisms that breed
among themselves
• Prokaryotic species:
• A population of cells with similar characteristics
• Culture: bacteria grown at a give time in media
• Clone: Population of cells derived from a single cell
• Strain: Genetically different cells within a clone
• Viral species:
• Population of viruses with similar characteristics that
occupies a particular ecological niche

Domain Eukarya
Learning objectives: List the major characteristics used to
differentiate the three kingdoms of multicellular Eukarya.
Define protist.
• Animalia: Multicellular; no cell walls;
chemoheterotrophic
• Plantae: Multicellular; cellulose cell walls; usually
photoautotrophic
• Fungi: Chemoheterotrophic; unicellular or multicellular;
cell walls of chitin; develop from spores or hyphal
fragments
• Protista: A catchall for eukaryotic organisms that do not
fit other kingdoms; currently being assigned to
kingdoms
• Viruses not placed in a kingdom (must have host)

Learning objectives:
Describe how staining and
biochemical tests are used to
identify bacteria

Methods to Classify and Identify Microbes
• Morphological characteristics (aided by staining)
• Presence of certain enzymes
• Serological tests (antigen – antibody response)
• Phage typing (susceptibility of bacteria to phages)
• Fatty acid profiles
• Flow cytometry
• Percentage of G-C pairs in nucleic acid
• Number and sizes of DNA fragments (fingerprints)
produced by restriction enzymes
• Sequence of bases in rRNA

characteristics:
Useful for
identifying
eukaryotes

identify selected genera of enteric
(intestinal) bacteria
• Differential
staining: Gram
staining, acid-fast
staining
• Biochemical

Numerical Identification
Rapid identification tools
for groups of medically
important bacteria (e.g.,
enterics) are designed to
perform several
biochemical tests
simultaneously.
The value for each
positive test is circled
and compared to a
computerized listing.
In this case a confirmatory test is advised.

Phage Typing
Determining which
phages a bacterium is
susceptible to:
The tested strain was
grown over entire plate;
known phages are
placed in different
squares; plaques (areas
of lysis) appear dark
indicating sensitivity to a
specific phage

Flow Cytometry Uses
• Used to identify
bacteria in a sample
without culturing the
bacteria

conductivity between
species

Greater degree of hybridization (pairing of two strands of DNA, each
from a different microbe) indicates greater similarity
