Bacterial Nomenclature up-to-date" is based on the work of Norbert Weiss, who maintained the database until his retirement in February 2003. The database is based on those names which are validly published according to the Bacteriological Code. The present database is maintained under the supervision of Manfred Kracht, who may be consulted on technical aspects (database or online access). Queries relating to nomenclature or taxonomic interpretation may be addressed to Brian J. Tindall. A complete list of the names can be downloaded from our FTP server: bactname.pdf (PDF file), bactname.exe (self-extracting file for MS-DOS systems) or names.txt (uncompressed ASCII text file). To import the list of names into a database or a spreadsheet programme, you can download bactname.zip (compressed Excel file). ... [Information of the supplier]
Developed as part of the BioText project at the University of California, Berkeley, the BioText Search Engine is a freely available Web-based application that provides biologists with new ways to access the scientific literature. The interface has been carefully designed according to usability principles and techniques. Three views allow different types of browsing: (A) Abstracts (List View): Allows users to search over titles, abstracts and authors. Returns a list of abstracts showing the figures associated with each article. (B) Captions (List View): Allows users to search over captions. Returns a list of captions and their figures. (C) Captions (Grid View): Allows users to search over captions. Returns figures and truncated captions in a grid arrangement. The system uses Lucene for the underlying indexing, and users can use all the Lucene operators in their search queries. The search engine is a work in progress and more functionality will be added over time. The system indexes all open access articles available at PubMed Central. New articles are indexed daily. The current collection consists of more than 150 journals, 20,000 articles, and 80,000 figures. ... [Information of the supplier]
