Connect to Resource

Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work on prokaryotes aimed at undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, professors and experienced professionals at all levels. About a hundred new genera and 600+ new species have been described per year for each of the last 5 years.

Bergey's is the most complete and authoritative description of bacterial and archaeal diversity. This digital edition provides up-to-date descriptions of the taxonomy, systematics, ecology, physiology and other biological properties of all named prokaryotic taxa. The new manual replaces and expands upon the second edition of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, a 5-volume set completed in 2012.
