Definitions • BIODIVERSITY I Taxonomy : Science of biological classification. BIOL 1051 – Classification : • « Natural »: mutual similarities TAXONOMY • Phylogenetic : evolutive relationship. – Nomenclature : • attribution of names to taxonomic groups in Professor Marc C. Lavoie accordance with the published rules. marc.lavoie@cavehill.uwi.edu – Identification : • Practical aspect of taxonomy. Process by which it is determined that a particular isolate belongs to a known taxon.

Two new Kingdoms: • Archezoa : Unicellular eukaryotes (Giardia) no Golgi, mitochondria, chloroplasts or peroxysomes. • Chromista : photosynthetic, chloroplasts in the lumen of RER. (Diatoms, Brown algae, Cryptomonads & Oomycetes). 2 Universal phylogenetic tree • Bacteria : – prokaryotes, – membrane lipids : di esters of diacyl -glycerol, – rRNA :16S. • Archaea : – procaryotes, – membrane lipids : tetra ethers of BACTERIA diglycerol or di ethers of isoprenoid-glycerol, – rRNA: 16S. • Eukaryota : – eukaryote, – membrane lipids : di esters of acyl-glycerol, – rRNA: 18S.
