I hope you left today feeling more at ease with what bacterial species are, although we’re certainly not done with the question.
A reminder that for this week, you were to post on the Hanage et al paper on Neisseria species definitions (with MLST), very broadly stating “what the bacterial species concept means to you.”
For this coming week (ie prior to next Tuesday 2/16), please choose any topic in microbiology for which the species question matters. Use your imagination, check the scientific, peer-reviewed literature (@PubMed), consider contemporary issues, etc. Why do species definitions matter in light of your favorite microbe or microbiological issue?
