Question

Conventional taxonomic methods are not suitable for identifying microbial species and many

species are simply not culturable under laboratory conditions. Why is this big limitation in the

identification of prokaryotes?




plz don't ans unnecessarily ​

Answer 1

Answer:

hi

Explanation:

The estimate of number of species present on earth is usually based on number of plants, animals, fungi. There is no proper estimate of the number of species found in prokaryotic organisms as the conventional taxonomic methods have not been found suitable for identifying microbial species.

pls mark my answer has brilliant

Answer 2

1. The estimate of number of species present on earth is usually based on number of plants, animals, fungi.

There is no proper estimate of the number of species found in prokaryotic organisms as the conventional taxonomic methods have not been found suitable for identifying microbial species. Hence, if the study of chemical processes in them and molecular structure of these microbes is considered as criteria for describing and identifying them, then the number of species of these organisms will alone be in millions.  

2. The conventional methods require long periods of growth, long periods for development, or are difficult to interpret.
