An electronic version of Bergey's Manuals (on disk or CD) is
scheduled to be out this summer. This product will be (among
other things) a database in which you can search for organisms
with characteristics similar to those of an isolate (or
unknown), or you can select a taxonomic group and see the
complete list of its recorded characteristics.
You can check Bergey's homepage:
http://server.mph.msu.edu/bergeys/
which will announce the products availability. The publisher,
Williams & Wilkins, also has a home page:
