Why are molecular approaches important to the field of microbial taxonomy and phylogeny? Phylogenetic inferences based on molecular approaches provide the most robust analysis of microbial evolution currently available. It allows for the collection of a large and accurate dataset from many organisms Almost no fossil record was left by microbes when compared to plants and animals All of the above None of the above

Identify the following individuals' major contributions to science o Hooke, Jenner, Koch, Lister, Linnaeus, Pasteur, van Leeuwenhoek, Semmelweis What is shown by Koch's postulates? Distinguish between (If applicable, provide examples) O Biotechnology and bioremediation Spontaneous generation and biogenesis Identify the current classification system o Know the entire hierarchal order sequence Which is broadest and which most specific Know the rules of scientific naming Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes Describe some of the destructive and beneficial actions of microbes Define: microbe, pathogen, parasite, genetic engineering, sterile, decomposers Differentiate the major characteristics of each group of microorganisms List the three domains of life and characteristics of each Chapter 3: Define inoculum, culture, colony, cell What are the l's of Microbiology recognize definitions/examples of each Distinguish between Liquid, semi-solid, and solid media What's the difference…

for the cactus (eukarotic) and the e coli bacteria (prokarotic) i want you to: Classify them based on modern taxonomy, and write their scientific name in three different ways based on Linnaeus. Describe their dichotomous key and show how far they are in their taxonomyfrom each other and describe how they interact together in the ecosystem basedon what you studied. what is thier location on the phylogenetic tree as well as the clade for both

The universal phylogenetic tree of life shows the divergence of Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Studies of Lokiarchaeota help to elucidate these relationships, but the first universal tree of life was constructed by Carl Woese using ribosomal RNA sequences. There are advantages to using different types of nucleic acid for different types of analyses. What is a specific advantage of using small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene sequences for phylogenetic analysis compared with DNA sequences? ▸ View Available Hint(s) SSU rRNA sequences accumulate mutations more rapidly than protein-encoding DNA. SSU rRNA is frequently transferred through horizontal gene transfer, whereas DNA sequences are not. Primers are required in DNA sequence analysis, but not for SSU rRNA sequence analysis. Although PCR products can be visualized with SSU rRNA, this is not the case with other forms of nucleic acids. DNA sequences are too highly conserved to work well for sequence analysis; individual species are…
