MLS 341 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Binomial Nomenclature, Microbiology, Ribosomal Rna
Document Summary
Upon completion of this lesson, the student will be able to: Describe taxonomic classification and system of identification for. Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms, provide universal names for organisms. Genotypic rrna and whole genome sequences; epigenetic properties. Binomial nomenclature is limited to genus and species. First letter of the genus is capitalized and can be abbreviated. Family: typically contains genus or specific group. Genus: contain species that are similar, genetic and phenotypic characteristics. Species: most basic group and collection of strains that share physiological and genetic features. Subspecies may be recognized based on phenotypic variation or genetic cluster of strains in given group. Describe the phenotypic characterization: features beyond genetic level. Serological antigens unique on the surface of the organism. Antibodies made specifically to recognized the organism specific antigen. Antibiogram panel of susceptibility profile for antibiotics of the organism. Phage typing relies on host/virus specific interaction. What you can see, how it looks.
