Published several papers on bacterial classification.. Grouped microorganisms according to shape-spherical, short rods, elongated rods, and spirals.

Is the science that studies organisms so as to arrange them into groups, or taxa
Taxonomy
100
Tests that can be used to identify sequences that are unique to a species or to a group of species
Nucleic Acid Tests
100
An organism can be identified as a Prokaryote, fungus, or protozoan through what two characteristics.
Size and Shape

What is a group of strains that have a characteristic biochemical pattern called?
Biovar or Biotype
200
In 1908 he proposed that bacteria be classified according to their physiology properties rather than morphology.
Sigurd Orla-Jensen
200
An isolate; subgroup within a species
Strain
200
Can locate a nucleotide sequence that characterizes a particular species or group
Nucleic Acid Probe
200
The most common cause of UTI's. It ferments lactose and therefore forms pink colonies on that agar.
E. Coli
200
Of the different rRNAS what molecule is the most useful in taxonomy because of its moderate size.
16S
300
Who are the two microbiologists that proposed classification based on evolutionary relationships
Albert Kluyver and C.B Van Niel
300
A group of closely related isolates or strains; the basic unit of taxonomy
Species
300
Often uses probes that bind 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
Fluorescence in situ hybridization.(FISH)
300
A system that uses a strip holding a series of tiny cups that can contain dried media. A liquid suspension of the test bacterium is added to each compartment.
API system
300
What is the bacterium that causes Whipple's disease (a rare intestinal illness)
Tropheryma Whipplei
400
Pointed out that relationships could be determined by comparing either physical traits, such as proteins and cell walls or nucleotide sequences
Roger Stainer
400
Flowchart of tests used to identify organisms
Dichotomous Key
400
Can be used to increase the number of copies of specific DNA sequences.
Nucleic Acid Amplification
400
What are the detection methods that use antibodies
Serological tests
400
Often turns red when incubated at 22 degree Celsius due to the production of a pigment.
Serratia Marcesen
500
Recognized that Prokaryotes could be divided into two major groups that differ from one another.
Carl Wose
500
The process of characterizing an isolate in order to determine the group (taxon) to which it belongs
Identification
500
Is a sequence in rRNA that characterizes either a certain species or a group of related organisms.
Signature Sequence
500
What is the system that has a tube with small compartments, each containing a different type of medium. One end of a metal rod that runs through the tube is used to touch a bacterial colony the other is used to pull the inoculated end through the tube.
Enterotube II
500
System that uses a miniature card that contains multiple wells with different types of dried media. After a relatively short incubation period, a computer then reads the growth pattern in the wells.
