Question
Chapter 19, Problem 4AL
Summary Introduction
The organism is broadly classified into two types namely prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are classified into two groups namely eubacteria and archaebacteria. Eubacteria are the true bacteria while the archaeobacteria resembles eukaryotes in many features. The three domain classification system categorizes the organism in three broad groups such as domain bacteria, domain archaea, and domain Eukarya.

What is the difference between taxonomy and systematics and how the system of classification by Carolus Linnaeus put an order to the microbial world?
an organism belongs to the following catergories/taxa/groups in our system of
classifying organisms:
Domain- bacteria
kingdom- "gram negative"
phylum- proteobacteria
class- alpha
order- enteric
genus- serratia
species- marcescens
based on the information given,what is the scientific name of this organism (be sure to
write the scientific name in the proper/correct format)?
If you were to design an own bacterial/archaeal species, what would be its characteristics (e.g. shape, arrangement,habitat, special internal and external structures, special “ability”, etc.) and what would be its scientific name?
