Systematic biology has a far wider application than merely the provision of a reliable
classification scheme for new strains. With the framework of the hierarchic system stabilizing, genomes,
noncoding regions, and genes and their products can now be evaluated in an evolutionary context. This
book summarizes recent developments in the molecular characterization of cultured and as-yet uncultured
prokaryotes, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of individual approaches. The chapters of the book
are compiled to stimulate students to enter the field of bacterial diversity, presenting a broad spectrum of
fascinating multifaceted disciplines that illuminate the paths to ecosystem functioning, communication within
communities, symbiosis, life in extreme environments, astrobiology, and more.
