This manual replaces and expands upon the second edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, a 5-volume set completed in 2012. Please click on the BMSAB link for further details or in information on pricing and how to order.
Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. About a hundred new genera and 600+ new species have been described per year for each of the last 5 years. To remain abreast of this explosion in knowledge of the microbial world, an electronic manual with frequent updates is necessary. The BMSAB is an essential tool for anyone at the forefront of research in microbiology. The digital edition provides up-to-date descriptions of the taxonomy, systematics, ecology, physiology and other biological properties of all named prokaryotic taxa.

Bergey's Manual of Determinative BacteriologyNinth Edition
Editor-in-Chief: John G. Holt
Bergey's Manual Ninth Edition Ebook
Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, MDPublished in 4 VolumesBergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology is a departure from past editions that attempted, usually inadequately, to combine systematic and determinative information. Systematic information will continue to be found in Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, with the Determinative manual serving as a reference to aid in the identification of unknown bacteria.
The arrangement of the book is strictly phenotypic, with no attempt to offer a natural higher classification. The arrangement chosen is utilitarian and is intended to aid in the identification of bacteria. The bacteria are divided into 35 groups, which are comparable to the 'Parts' in the eighth edition and the 'Sections' in the Systematic volumes. These groups are not meant to be formal taxonomic ranks, but are a continuation of our tradition of dividing the bacteria into easily recognized phenotypic groups. We feel this arrangement is most useful for diagnostic purposes.
The book was compiled by abstracting the phenotypic information contained in the four volumes of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Introductory material concerning identification and a key to the groups were added. The past decade has seen an explosion in the description of new taxa of bacteria. We have attempted to include as many of them as possible, but, in a manual of this type with its varied production schedule, not all of the new taxa could be included. For inclusion in this manual, we had to set a cut-off date of January, 1991, for valid publication. In some cases, we have been able to include more recent taxa and have taken their descriptions directly from the original publications.

Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, MDPublished in 4 VolumesEverything you need to know about Bergey's manual. Some of the questions are as follows:-
Q.1. Which points or steps one will keep in mind while using 'Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology'?
Ans. One will have to keep the following points in mind while using the Manual. Make text in image searchable onenote.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Step 1: Whether your isolate is a Prokaryotic Microorganism or EukaryoticMicroorganism.
Step 2: To which major category of bacteria ones isolate belongs:
Whether:
(I) Gram negative eubacteria that have cell walls.
(II) Gram positive eubacteria that have cell walls.
(III) Eubacteria lacking cell walls.
(IV) Archaeobacteria.
The chapter IV of Begey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology 9th edition (1994) provides characteristics that allow differentiation of these four categories.
Step 3: To which group does one's isolate belong?
Step 4: To which group does one's genus belong?
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Step 5: To which species does one's isolate belong?
Q.2. How many ‘Sections' are there covering all prokaryotes (bacteria) in ‘Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology'?
Ans. In all there are 33 Sections of prokaryotes (bacteria) in ‘Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology'. The Volume I covers Sections 1 to 11, Volume II covers Sections 12 to 17, Volume III covers Sections 18 to 25, and Volume IV covers Sections 26 to 33.
Q.3. Why is isolation of pure cultures required?
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Ans. Generally the study of physiological, serological and other characteristics of bacteria are authoritative and meaningful when such studies are conducted from pure culture. It means the growth of a single strain of bacteria which is free from contamination by other species of bacteria or other microorganisms.
Therefore, for diagnostic examination of mixed infective material the first important step is the isolation of a particular organism in a pure culture. Pure cultures are also needed for proper identification and differentiation of bacteria.
The important techniques employed for isolation of pure cultures or creating pure cultures are as under:
1. Planting out on a solid culture medium.
2. Use of selective, enrichment or indication media.
3. Use of selective growth conditions.
4. Selective treatment of the specimen before culture.
5. Animal inoculation.
