Systematics
A
To study the diverse life forms that share our planet and to effectively communicate our findings , we need to organize our knowledge of them.
The scientific study of the diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematics. An important aspect of systematics is Taxonomy, the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms. The term classification means ordering organisms into groups based on their similarities or relationships.
B
Different methods of classification have been used throughout history. Animals, for example, were classified by St. Augustine in the fourth century as useful, harmful and superfluous to humans. During the Renaissance scholars began to develop categories based more on the characteristics of the organisms themselves. These categories were arranged roughly in order from simple to complex organisms.
C
Carolus Linnaeus in the mid-18 century developed a binominal system of nomenclature in which each species is given a unique two-part name. The "cuckoo flower" and the "lady`s smock" (Сердечник луговой) are two common names for the same wild plant and this could lead to confusion. However, if the botanical name, Cardamine pratensis, is used, there is no chance of error. The Latin form of the name allows it to be used in all the countries of the world.
"Binominal" means "two names". The first name gives the genus and the second gives the species.
D
Linnaeus also made a system for arranging species to a hierarchy of groups. His system has proved to be flexible and adaptable to new biological knowledge and theory. Most biologists currently use a hierarchical system that includes
Domain
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species.
E
In 1937 the French marine biologist Edouard Chatton suggested the term procariotique ("before nucleus") to describe bacteria , and the term eukariotique ("true nucleus") to describe all other cells. This dichotomy between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is now universally accepted by biologists.
F
In 1969 R.H.Whittaker proposed a five-kingdom classification, which is now favoured by many biologists. Whittaker classified organisms in 5 Kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Prokaryota or Monera.
G
The evolution of systematics reflects the creative and dynamic process of science . Systematists have been very responsive to new data, and so classification of organisms is a challenging and continuously changing process.

Extreme Bacteria
Imagine life in the environment without oxygen or with an extremely high salt concentration or with boiling hot acid. How could any organism live there? All of the animals and plants with which we are familiar would find these conditions uninhabitable. How could a cell's plasma membrane and large molecules remain stable and functional under these conditions? How can these very different, extreme environments be home to a unique group of microorganisms, the Archaea?
This interesting group of microbes is unique; they have thrown the whole classification system for living organisms upside down. Some characteristics of Archaea are closely related to bacteria, whereas other characteristics show a relationship to eukaryotes. But archeans have many distinctive properties that set them apart from bacteria or eukaryotic organisms. Their cell wall and plasma membrane compositions are unique, as is their ribosomal RNA. What does this mean from an evolutionary perspective? The dilemma arose when scientists were deciding where to place these organisms in relation to all other organisms on Earth. Where do they belong, with the bacteria or in their own group? Dr. Carl Woese made the suggestion that the Archaea should be one of three new superkingdoms or domains of organisms, with all bacteria making up the second domain and all eukaryotic organisms making up the third. Does this suggestion make sense? Why or why not?
Archaeans are classified into three main groups, depending on their habitat: methanogens, halophiles, and thermoacidophiles. The methanogens are rod-shaped, live in strictly anaerobic environments, and produce large quantities of methane (CH4) from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. They live in marshes, lake bottoms (causing the rotten-egg smell that occurs when you poke a stick into the mud at the bottom). The halophiles require high concentrations of salt, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The thermoacidophiles normally grow in hot (100oC), acidic (pH 1.0) environments.
