摘要
Direct molecular analyses of natural microbial populations reveal patterns that should compel microbiologists to adopt; a more natural species concept that has been known to; biologists for decades. The species debate can be exploited to address a larger issue - microbiologists need, in general, to take a more natural view of the organisms they study.
