Topic 1 - BACTERIAL CLASSIFICATION SCHEMES MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Topic content • Characterisation of species • Binomial system • Problems of classification • Phylogenetic classification • Numerical taxonomy MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Characterisation of species • Taxonomist discover 200 yrs ago • Taxonomy-field of biological species classification • Many m/o look alike to be classified according to the structure • Literally hundreds of bacterial species are small rods or small cocci MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim

Bacterial morphology List down types of bacterial shapes that can be found in above picture. MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Binomial system Taxonomic Hierarchy • A number of species make up a genus, related genera make up a family. • Scientific name for m/o (Genus species) How to write these names?? • Vibriocholerae • Staphylococcus sp • E.coli MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Question?/// • Define taxa Genus Species Strain Taxonomy MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Problems in classification1. General problems • Establishing a standard names for organisms so that we can communicate about them • Usually classified according to their phylogenetic or evolutionary, but not always easy • Leads to introduction of a dichotomous key MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Dichotomous key • Has paired statements describing characteristic of organisms • Paired statement can only have one statement true • Each paired statement relate to each other MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Reasons causing problems • Deciding what constitutes a species– because of some bacteria have the similar characteristics so taxonomist try to tolerate the organism within species • Deciding what constitutes a kingdom– because most of organism having sexually reproduction so have vary factors affecting the variable of the characteristics MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Focusing on bacterial classification • Other organism categorized from domain to species, but for prokaryotic cell, start from strain to genus • However facing problems reaching the classes and orders level • Wide range of studies needed on identification and building up taxonomy of bacteria MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Phylogenetic classificationHierarchy • domain – Bacteria • kingdom – none assign for bacteria • phylum – Proteobacteria • class – Gamma-proteobacteria • order – Enterobacteriales • family – Enterobacteriacea • genus – Eschericia • Species – E.coli start MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Three domain system classification MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Numerical taxonomy • Based on the idea that increasing the number of characteristics of organisms that we observe, increases the accuracy with which we can detect similarities among them • The more characteristics of two organisms share, the closer their evolutionary relationship • By laboratory investigation, the similarities and differences will be detected and categorized in particular group MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
Terminologies (answer) • Taxa – subdivisions used to classify organism: domain, kingdom, phylum • Phylogeny / sytematic – the evolutionary history of a group of organism; phylogenetic relationships are evolutionary relationship • Taxonomy – the science of the classification of organism MIC250 by Miss Rashidah Iberahim
