LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Define taxonomy, taxon, and phylogeny.
List the characteristics of the Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya domains.
Differentiate among eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and viral species.
Explain the scientific naming
Differentiate between culture, clone, and strain.
Compare and contrast classification and identification.
Explain the purpose of Bergey’s Manual.
Describe how staining and biochemical tests are used to identify bacteria.
Explain how serological tests and phage typing can be used to identify an unknown
bacterium.
Describe how a newly discovered microbe can be classified by ribotyping, DNA
fingerprinting, and PCR.
Describe how microorganisms can be identified by nucleic acid hybridization,
Southern blotting, DNA chips, and FISH.
Differentiate
a dichotomous key from a cladogram.

Taxonomy and Phylogeny
Taxonmoy: science of classifying organisms with goal of
showing relationships among organisms.
 Taxonomic categories: Taxon / Taxa
 Provides universal names for organisms and a means of
identifying them.
Phylogeny (or systematics): evolutionary history of group of
organisms.
 Taxonomic hierarchy shows phylogenetic (evolutionary),
relationships among organisms.
 1969: Living organisms divided into five kingdoms.
 1978: Two types of prokaryotic cells found. Prokaryotic
relationships determined by rRNA sequencing.

Classification: Species Definition
 Eukaryotic species: A group of closely related organisms
that breed among themselves
 Prokaryotic species: A population of cells with similar
characteristics (Bergey’s Manual of Systematic
Bacteriology is standard reference on bacterial
classification).
 Clone: Population of cells derived from a single cell
 Strain: Genetically different cells within a clone
 Closely related strains constitute a bacterial species.
 Viral species: Population of viruses with similar
characteristics occupying a particular ecological niche.
Viruses: not placed in a kingdom – not composed of cells
– cannot grow without a host cell.

Domain Eukarya
 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

Identification Methods
Fig 10.8
 Morphological
characteristics:
Useful for
identifying
eukaryotes
 Differential staining: Gram staining, acid-fast
staining
 Biochemical tests: Determines presence of
bacterial enzymes

Morphology,
differential staining,
biochemical tests to
test for presence of
various enzymes.
Based on rRNA
sequencing
Identification Methods cont.: Serology
 Involves reactions of
microorganisms with
specific antibodies:
Combine known antiserum with unknown
bacterium
 Useful in determining the
identity of strains and
species, as well as
relationships among
organisms.
 Examples:
 Slide agglutination
 ELISA (see lab)
 Western blot (no details)

Identification Methods cont.: Genetics
 DNA fingerprinting:
Number and sizes of DNA
fragments (fingerprints)
produced by RE digests are
used to determine genetic
similarities.
 Ribotyping: rRNA sequencing
 Polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) can be used to amplify
a small amount of microbial
DNA in a sample. The

presence or identification of
RE digest of plasmid DNA
an organism is indicated by
amplified DNA. (see lab)

Identification Methods cont.:
Nucleic Acid Hybridization
Single strands of DNA or RNA, from related organisms
will hydrogen-bond to form a double-stranded molecule;
this bonding is called nucleic acid hybridization.
Examples of Applications:
• Southern blotting,
• DNA chips, and
• FISH

Putting Identification/Classification Methods Together
 Dichotomous keys are widely used for identification of
organisms. They are based on successive questions
that each have two possible answers
 Cladograms are maps that show phylogenentic
(evolutionary) relationship.
