| 3 Methods to Classify Bacteria |
|
Definition
1) Intuitive-stems from familiarity with the microbes
2) Numerical Taxonomy-comparing characteristics of known & unknown bacteria with a computer (65% genus; 85% species).
3) Genetic Testing-Using a probe (unique complement to a specific sequence of the bacteria) in the unknown bacteria. |
