Today we’re going to learnt about NOMENCLATURE.

This is the way how to naming a new bacteria :

1. Run extensive scientific tests to verify the bacteria.
2. New bacteria – give a name.
3. Description is published in International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology.
7. Bacteria deposited in culture collection bank.
8. Description of bacteria is incorporated into a reference called Bergeyʼs Manual.

Other than that, we also learnt about :

The department that responsible in nomenclature new microorganism :-
·         For protozoa and parasitic worm : International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
·         For fungi and algae : international Code for Botanical Nomenclature.
·         For bacteria : International Code for Nomenclature of Bacteria.

Dr Wan also told us about the new species is only recognized if :

• Published in International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
• Deposited in Culture Collection Banks


I’ve learnt a lot today. Our class end early because Dr Wan was busy with her works.

Till we meet again! XOXO
