Chapter 11, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction
Yes, because there are millions of bacteria exist on the earth, only 5,000 bacterial species were identified by microbiologists. Therefore 3,000 species have been listed in Bergey’s manual. Using conventional growth medium to the entire bacterial community cannot be cultivated. It is a great deal for microbiologists to identify and grow new bacterial species using new tools and techniques. Therefore scientist still need to attempt to grow more new bacterial species.

Students have asked these similar questions
Microbiomes can be characterized using a number of molecular biology approaches. Which approach would provide a better functional description of a community: metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequencing? Briefly explain your reasoning.
A large oil spill in the Pacific Ocean is
threatening marine life. Scientists charged
with cleaning up the spill believe
bioremediation is the best option, but they
are not sure what type of bacterial species to
use in the bioremediation process. To help
them in their decision, they have listed the
nutritional modes of each species. Given
your knowledge of the different nutritional
modes of bacteria, which nutritional mode
would be most beneficial in bioremediation
of the oil spill?
