According to the binomial system of nomenclature how
microbial names should be written?
Answer Posted / aki
The Latin binomial name of micro-organisms, plants and
animals must be given at first mention in the text
thereafter the generic name will be abbreviated in such a
way that confusion is avoided when dealing with several
genera all beginning with the same letter, Pseudomonas,
Proteus, Pediococcus, etc.
Subspecies are italized . groups and types are printed in
Roman and designated by capital letters or Arabic figures
e.g. Staphylococcus aureus group A.
Common names will not have an initial capital letter nor
will they be underlined in the manuscript, pseudomonad,
salmonellas. The specific name will be given in full in the
captions to tables and figures. Major ranks are written in
Roman with an initial capital e.g. Enterobacteriaceae .
Specifically, at the first citation of a serotype the genus
name is given followed by the word 'serotype' and then the
serotype name.
Names of serotypes should be in Roman type with the first
letter capitalized for example Salmonella serotype
Typhimurium. Subsequently the name should by written with
the genus followed directly by the serotype name for
example Salm. Typhimurium .
