Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology: Volume One : The Archaea and the Deeply Branching and Phototrophic Bacteria (Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (Springer-Verlag))

Bacteriologists from all levels of expertise and within all specialties rely on this Manual as one of the most comprehensive and authoritative works. Since publication of the first edition of the Systematics, the field has undergone revolutionary changes, leading to a phylogenetic classification of prokaryotes based on sequencing of the small ribosomal subunit. The list of validly named species has more than doubled since publication of the first edition, and descriptions of over 2000 new and realigned species are included in this new edition along with more in-depth ecological information about individual taxa and extensive introductory essays by leading authorities in the field. This Manual Is One Of The Most Comprehensive And Authoritative Works In The Field Of Prokaryotic Systematics. It Is Undergoing An Extensive Revision That Will Ultimately Culminate In A Five Volume Second Edition. Arrangement Of The Content Of The Second Edition Follows The Now Familiar And Well Regarded Phylogeny Of The 16s Rrna Gene, Yet Retains Much Of The Layout Of The First Edition. Volume 1, Encompassing The Archaea, Deeply Branching And Phototrophic Bacteria Was Published In 2001. Work On Volume 2, The Proteobacteria, Has Been Completed. This Culminates A Four Year Effort By Bergey's Manual Trust And More Than 150 Internationally Recognized Authorities To Provide A Comprehensive View Of The Proteobacteria, The Largest Prokaryotic Phylum. V. 1. The Archaea And The Deeply Branching And Phototrophic Bacteria / David R. Boone, Richard W. Castenholz, Editors -- V. 2. The Proteobacteria. Part A, Introductory Essays. Part B, The Gammaproteobacteria. Part C, The Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, And Epsilonproteobacteria / Don J. Brenner, Noel R. Krieg, James T. Staley, Editors. 3 V. -- V. 3. The Firmicutes / Paul De Vos ... [et Al.], Editors -- V. 4. The Bacteroidetes, Spirochetes, Tenericutes (mollicutes), Acidobacteria, Fibrobacteres, Fusobacteria, Dictyoglomi, Gemmatimonadetes, Lentisphaerae, Verrucomicrobia, Chlamydiae, And Planctomycetes / Noel R. Krieg ... [et Al.], Editors. George M. Garrity, Editor-in-chief. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology has been the major provider of an outline of bacterial systematics since it was initiated in 1923 and has provided a resource ever since to workers at the bench who need to identify bacterial isolates and recognize new species.
