On the necessity of publishing an abstract journal

"On the necessary of publishing an abstract journal describing new bacterial species" By S. Rosen //Israel society for microbiology (ISM),1996,v.20, p. 25.

    Annually, investigators are describing in papers more than three hundred new species of bacteria having general, medical or technological significance. However, the abstracts of these papers lack information of the percentage of positive strains in each property, and it is impossible to classify propertiesaccording to their significance (basic or supplementany, obligatory or facultative).

   Bacteriological laboratories worlwide are identifying at least a million strains of bacteria annually, but data about strains corresponding to the new species is discarded because laboratory descriptions are lacking.

   The necessity and possibility of publishing a new journal describing new bacterial species (replete with abstracts of original publications and subsequent examinations) for distribution to all bacteriological laboratories as a supplement to Bergey's Manuel should be discussed.

  Israel has the highly skilled specialists and modern polygraphic base to execute this project.
