Summary Introduction

To review:

The advantages of naming microbial lineage after a morphological feature and problems associated with such nomenclature.

Introduction:

Binomial nomenclature is the system of naming living organisms following a set of rules and guidelines which ensures that each individual is given a unique name. The organisms can be named based on their morphological features. Microbial morphology is the study of external observable features of the microbe such as cell size, shape, arrangements, presence of surface structures, and other features.
