Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology / edited by John G. Holt ... [and others]

"Although this edition of Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology contains much information derived from the four volumes of Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology, it should not be considered an abridged version of the latter work"--P. 1
