''Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology'' is the main resource for determining the identity of prokaryotic organisms, emphasizing bacterial species, using every characterizing aspect. The manual was published subsequent to the ''Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology'', though the latter is still published as a guide for identifying unknown bacteria.〔Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (Book Review ) Int. J. of Syst. Bact.; July 1985, p. 408〕 First published in 1923 by David Hendricks Bergey, it is used to classify bacteria based on their structural and functional attributes by arranging them into specific familial orders. However, this process has become more empirical in recent years.〔(History of the Manual )〕 ==Organization== The change in volume set to "''Systematic Bacteriology''" came in a new contract in 1980, whereupon the new style included "relationships between organisms" and had "expanded scope" overall. This new style was picked up for a four-volume set〔"The new format, which has an expanded scope and examines relationships between organisms (systematics), is called ''Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology''. Work on the first volume in the four-volume sequence began in 1980 and was ...", ("Microbiology" ) by Daniel V. Lim, Kendall Hunt, 2002〕 that first began publishing in 1984. The information in the volumes was separated as: ''Volume 1'' included information on all types of Gram-negative bacteria that were considered to have "medical and industrial importance." ''Volume 2'' included information on all types of Gram-positive bacteria. ''Volume 3'' deals with all of the remaining, slightly different Gram-negative bacteria, along with the Archaea. ''Volume 4'' has information on filamentous actinomycetes and other, similar bacteria.〔("Bergey's Manuals" ), ''Understanding bacteria'' by Sheela Srivastava, Springer, 2003, Pg. 40〕 The current volumes differ drastically from previous volumes in that many higher taxa are not defined in terms of phenotype, but solely on 16S phylogeny, as is the case of the classes within Proteobacteria.〔 The current grouping is: * Volume 1 (2001): The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria * Volume 2 (2005): The Proteobacteria—divided into three books: * * 2A: Introductory essays * * 2B: The Gammaproteobacteria * * 2C: Other classes of Proteobacteria * Volume 3 (2009): The Firmicutes * Volume 4 (2011): The Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes, Tenericutes (Mollicutes), Acidobacteria, Fibrobacteres, Fusobacteria, Dictyoglomi, Gemmatimonadetes, Lentisphaerae, Verrucomicrobia, Chlamydiae, and Planctomycetes * Volume 5 (in two parts) (2012): The Actinobacteria 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
