The book is big and heavy and is filled with useful information for the world of microorganisms. All microbiology majors must have this book in their libraries. This book helps you identify, compare, and understand microorganisms better. Every organism is descibed in detail: gram-stain reactions, fermentation reaction, morphology, etc.
This "Bergey’s Manual of Determinative Bacteriology" has an admirable practical approach. It depicted the characteristics of bacterial groups in a straightforward manner. Using a wide focus, it featured vivid illustrations, which will enable you to reason like a professional. The manual provided a good number of easy-to-master materials.
However, I felt that this 9th Edition, which first appeared in 1994, is just too old. The authors should give us a more recent update. Also, the high retail price of this book ensured that many people would go for a better alternative. There are lots of them out there! The choice is yours.
This book got me through Microbiology lab–easy to understand, and thorough. Everything you could want to know about a bacterium or a species is detailed here for you! I’m not selling this one back! Get this if you don’t want to be writing reports in the middle of the night, going "oh, shoot, I didn’t look up this or that bit of information in my professor’s copy!"
worth it’s weight in gold!
